- There is a field in Ballymulvey, in which there is an old Monastery where three Monks lived. One day a Protestant man hanged the Monks from a tree which grows in that field. No leaves ever grew on that tree since. There is a well in that field, and every time the man took a drink he could see three fingers threatening him.
