The Fairy Tree
Some Irish people believe the fairy story of a Hawthorn or Ash tree which stands alone in a field, or surrounded by large stones. The tree and stones are occupied by fairies or elves who live underground and dance in a circle when no-one is looking. They bring good luck and to the area and to cut a fairy tree down will bring seven years bad luck, so land owners leave them undisturbed, they wouldn't dare do anything to disrupt the wee folk.
