- An ancient lone bush is growing out in the field at our house in the townland of Dromod. No person likes to cut or interfere with a lone bush because it is said to be unlucky. One time a young man said he would cut some branches off it and unfortunately he did so and he died the next day. There is a round stone at the foot of it and no one should go near it. It is supposed to be a fairy seat.
