Proprietor is Mr. Wm. Burrowes. He gives leases for his own life from 25s to 30s per acre. There is a corn mill in this townland. Power is overshot. A little to the South of the mill is a large ash tree planted in the centre of a space formed by the junction of four roads. It is asserted that many years ago two persons had a difference relative as to which was the ablest marksman; one of them buried his own son to the neck in the ground, placed one egg on his head, retired to a certain distance and split the egg to pieces. He challenged the other to do likewise but he declined. He then planted the tree in the hole made for the boy's body. Others asserted that Oliver Cromwell reviewing his troops on a line stood here. (Note: I wonder are these stories still remembered in Lavey. L. O C.)
