Many years ago when the father of the present owner of this lios was alive he cut and saved a pike of hay in the centre of this old fort. When his servant boy and himself came to cart the hay home a great and sudden wind blew up and scattered the pike of hay all directions, since then this old lios has never been interfered with.
The lios in Richardson's Dungred is only about a quarter of a mile west of that on Kiely's land. In shape and size it is exactly like Kiely's ash trees however, growing instead of whitethorn.
