  2. A Legend

    Share Share Post
    Below beside Joe Foxes in Corballis is a lone bush called Lochill bush. There was a General of the Irish army buried under it in Cromwell's time, and it said, that if anybody cuts it, they will have bad luck all their lives.
    There is a tunnell in Reilly's yard, and it stretches from the yard over to Rathkeenan wood, which is about three miles from there.
