    Mocksevenue's bush called after a man named Mocksevenue is beyond Myrath on a mass path.
    This old man use to stop the people from going to mass on a Sunday.
    He lay down on the grass where the people were passing to mass and pretented to be dead to see what would the people say about him. When the people were coming home he could not be stirred of the ground until three grass reins were got.
    The people could not pass the wayfor years after-wards because his ghost used to appear after nightfall.
