About forty years ago an immense big ash tree grew at the Bull-Ring, Grange, Allen Parish, Barony of Connell. A large bough extended over the Rathangan road on which men were hanged in '98. The mound on which it grew is still to be seen. People call it the "Bull-Ring Tree". In Grange, Allen Parish, Barony of Connell, there is a field called "Acra" and the people used to have courses and sports in it long ago. People call it "Acra" because it is one acre in extent.
