IT IS IN FACT ST. KIERANS'S BUSH
St Kieran’s Bush is the second station in the procession on St Kieran’s day.
The Bush is a whitethorn and it stands in the middle of the road. A local custom of keeping left around the Bush lives down to the present day. This grew out of the people’s devotion to St Kieran. There are stories about people who tried to interfere with the Bush or who passed on the wrong side and the misfortunes that befell them as a result. People who are seeking a cure through the intercession of St Kieran tie pieces of cloth etc. to the Bush and it is said that this helps cure the person.
The stone at the base of the Bush is believed to have the imprint of his hands on it and that this was the site where he built his first cell. A railing of white chain has also been erected to mark the site of St. Kieran’s Bush.
Account written by
Rev Fr. C . Bergin). Adm. 1931-46.
“The people of the Parish have also have an attachment to this Bush and tie medals, strings, twines, bits of beads etc. on it even though they have often been remonstrated with for such a practice. The Bush here fell about 1884 but a young one was growing at the time, which now occupies the site. There is a story told of a gentleman who wanted to remove this bush but his workmen refused to have anything to do with it. They only consented on condition that the gentleman himself would strike the first stroke. Accordingly the gentleman did and was stricken with facial paralysis. He died shortly after that ”
Now I found no medals, strings, twines and bits of beads, but there was a lot of womens underwear. GOOD MAN ST. KIERAN
