    There is a field beyond there in Kilquiggan in which there is a rath. In the rath there was a bush and it is said that it is unlucky to touch a bush which stands alone in a rath. Well this man cut the bush to use it for fencing and when he come home after cutting it he found his horse dead in the stable.
