- The Great Wind 1839
1 There was a big tree at the Cross of Ballymore. It grew very high and its branches covered the three roads. It was bigger than any of the trees growing now and coudl be seen for many miles around. Some people say that thegreat wind in 1839 knocked this tree. Its trunk remained to be seen until a few years ago. The place got its name from the big tree which was known as "The Tree of Ballymore.
