   I heard the following from an old person one night about a place in Kilmallock very near where I live.

   This old man told me that long ago in this place it was supposed to be a place where the "Good People" resorted. In this place there are two hawthorn bushes and right under them are two stones shaped like two seats and in olden days the "Good People" held their meetings and parties at midnight and God held anyone that passed by at that hour they got what was called a "Faireen," also if anybody interfered with the bushes it would mean bad luck to them.

   Many years ago it was known that a man cut down some of the bushes knowing the result of it and that night he got a pain in his arm and lost the use of it. The bushes can be seen to day and the seats but I doubt if people are afraid at the present day to cut down the bushes. The real name of this place where the moat is, goes by the name of "Propeens"
