    Barrys there lived at Ardfield a priest who was so depressed at the defeat of the Barrys that he put the "curse of the crows" on the demesne which the Frekes had seized. It is two hundred years since the curse of the crows fell on Castlefreke and ever sine not one crow ever perched on the trees of the demesne. The curse was to stay on the demesne for two hundred years. The time is up now and a few crows may be seen perching on the trees there.
