    At Kilcolman not far from Saint Coleman's old church there is a very old withered tree. On this tree there are two branches spreading out from the middle and there is growing on the top of one of the branches a small branch which is growing straight out On this small branch it is said that captain Beamish who lived at Palace Anne hanged a priest.
    This tree is still to be seen. It never rotted and it is impossible to cut it.
