After a few years the tree got old and a lot of traffic began to run on the roads, after that the tree was cut down. So the name remains after it still.
The Irish for it is "Cráinn Mór".There is a laneway in Termonfectin and on each side of the lane are cottages. This used to be called "Nunery Land" because about 70 years ago nuns had a convent in it and the name of the place round it was called "Nunery Land".
