    about half a mile from the road leading to Moate. The house it appears was in a very big hollow surrounded by a clump of bushes but there are only four of them there now, and they usually go by the name of the "Four Lane Bushes". The place where the potatoes were sown is still to be seen. The furrows are a half a foot deep.
