    this purpose . The island has no grass or bushes growing on it. It is devoid of any growth save three old sally trees.
    Probably the men were to have made the three gads from the three sally trees perhaps a gad from each tree.
    The spot on the bak where the boat lies is approached by a path a quarter of a mile or so in length. This path leads from a lane way which is a continuation of a road that branches westwards from the main rod from Athy to Monasterevan and about five miles from the latter town.
