Queen's Tree [note] This note will embrace the 3 Trees, it being superflous to enter the date under the name of each tree.
Deaf Knowe [note] On referring this name to the examiner he states " The tradition connected with this hill, is, that Queen Helen was drowned while crossing a ford near the Village, and her body was washed by the current to this spot. Upon it being found, it was so decomposed that it was found difficult to remove and a mound of earth was erected over her remains and this mound has always had the name of the Deaf Knowe.
