“About thirty years ago a tree had been knocked down over in Dungrud by a storm.”
This tree was growing on the side of the lios of Dungrud in Richardsons farm, Galbally Tipperary.(e) About thirty years ago a tree had been knocked down over in Dungrud by a storm.
Dungrud is about three miles from Galbally,Co. Limerick and at the southern end of the famous Glen of Aherlow. The people of the house decided to plough this field in which the tree lay. Seeing that the tree would be in their way they went out to have a look at it and decided to cut it up after dinner.
When they had finished their dinner they procured a cross-cut and an axe but on entering the field they found to their great surprise that the tree was standing up again in the same position in which it had been before the storm.
