There was a landlord living in Hampstead whose name was Medir David. He was a bad man and he would not give the people the land. When he would not give them the land they resolved to scraw it so that it would be no use for grazing. There was a spy who told the landlord and he gathered a number of landlords to kill the men who would come to scraw the ground. The men came and they were killed. They were buried under ten trees that were in the land and these trees can be seen yet. - Transcription guide » You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
