    It is said that Cromwell's soldiars stopped in a field in the Gormanston Demesne called the Avenue.
    The trees that are growing on both sides of the field were to represent the soldiers where they used to line up.
    Roger Murphy, at present living in England obtained this information from Peter Whelan, Gormanston, Co. Meath.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
