im not superstitious or believe in good and evil but the farmer would not go near them for love nor money even though it is a major obstruction to him and none of the people he asked to clear it would. The history of the ringforts is that they were used 1500 years ago for apparently witchcraft and such as the was no religion in ireland around then. Yes its probably a old burial ground but all i really know is that I'll have 15+cord of firewood when im done
I'll give you an old Irish/Acadian/French/Canadian blessing passed down for generations in my family ....
Git-Er-Done , and leave no trees behind
And besides , if it was a burial ground you'd be doing those that rest there a favor by letting the sun in to warm their souls .
A friend of mine's father was offered 45 acres of land for free in the 50's , he declined because the original owner was reported to have died from TB and there was a fear at that time that TB could be in the old homestead or in the ground ...
Superstitions , based on science , I think not .

We got cold again, actually felt colder than it was due to no sun, and snow coming again tomorrow (it has all mostly melted in the recent rain).
Strange winter this year.

Superstitions only work if you believe in them..... I read an article a few years ago about a study which was done on some historical data from the early days of European settlement in Australia. In those days aboriginal witch doctors or elders would ‘point the bone’ at some one if they had done something really bad. It was basically a death sentence, the stat was that something like 75% of people would be dead within 2 weeks from adrenal failure.
In my opinion this is half the battle with things like cancer.
The question is do you believe in it?
Never thought the wood scrounge thread would take us here!

Cancers thrive on sugars and toxins, and toxins are generally stored in fat. Diet and life style can help to improve your odds, but there may be other exposures you are not even aware of (Radon, water & food contamination, etc).
My Uncle knew an old Water Witcher in the Catskills. He told us about radiation coming out of the ground, and pointed to areas where the cows would not eat the grass. He sold my uncle an old saw mill that we used as a hunting cabin, but he warned us not to sleep in one of the rooms. It was not long after that everyone was aware of Radon, but I had never heard of it before then.

Try mentioning "The Scottish Play" by its true name in front of an actor or aspiring ones and see what superstitions are all about.
