  1. There was a bush in the fort in Clooneskill. About six years ago John Walsh of Cloonskill dug the bush out of the fort. The next day he had to go to bed because he got ill. He was in bed for a long while. One night a neighbour came in and he told him that if he left back the bush again he would get all right. John Walsh could not leave back the bus as he was ill to his neighbour left it back. He got all right again and was able to get up next day.
    I heard this story from John Walsh, Lanmore, Liscarmey POst Office Westport Co. Mayo
