Oir  Spindle tree

The hard wood of the Spindle tree was used in the making of pegs, bobbins, and spindles-hence its common name. It is a delicate and small tree, with smooth grey bark and tiny white flowers. Bright crimson, deeply lobed fruits on slender stems show it at its most attractive and vibrant in the autumn hedgerows. Its meaning is illustrated at a deeper level by a legend concerning Lugh, whose father Cian was killed by the three sons of Tiurenn-Brian, Iuchar, and Iucharba. As the punishment they were set eith tasks by Lugh, the final ine being to make three shouts on a hill, Croc Miodhain. Having completed the first seven, acquiring various magical animals and objects Lugh desired, they turned to their final task. But the hill was owned and guarded by an enemy, and so they fell, mortally wounded, after reaching the summit and uttering their three shouts. Thus the sons of Tiurenn completed the hardest and final task that brought completion and repayment.
