- In the townland of Mullans about two miles from Roslea there is a lone bush. There are many divisions in it. Some people say that it was the fairies set it up and others say that there is a king buried under it and the bush was put there for a mark. It is said to be very unlucky to cut a piece of it. One time a man named Jack Faux living in the same townland townland cut a piece of it and he had very bad luck afterwards.
