Allenwood  [duchas:4741276]

On my father's land there is a bush growing and beside it is a holly tree. They are stuck together and the name of them is the lone bush. Every year it is laden with berries. But nobody is let take any of it. If we wanted some we would not be let take much of it. Long ago there were fairies in it.
