“When Sean na Sagairt died he was buried at Ballintubber about twelve miles from Claremorris.”
When Seán na Sagairt died he was buried in Ballintubber about twelve miles from Claremorris. A few months after his death a tree began to grow out of his grave, and after it had grown to about five feet, it bent over to the other side of the grave and took root there. The tree formed a kind of semicircle. It can still be seen.
