- Groups of Hawthorn bushes, 2,3, or 4 growing close together are along the road from Brownsford to Ross and are called "The Monuments", a sort of land mark. I have been told that long ago when there were no hearses to carry the dead to the churchyard, people carried the coffin on their shoulders, and at certain parts of the road where they rested the coffin on the ditch (I presume) these monument bushes were planted in memory of the dead person.
