This tree marks what was once a favoured ritual site of the witches of Burn Hill, and it is rumoured that the victims who were sacrificed by the coven to Those Who Wait were held within the hollow of the tree whilst being ritually disemboweled. If the history of Horsingdon teaches anything, it is that the occulted landscape hereabouts is steeped in blood, which the earth - always indifferent and unresponsive to the demands of those who objure it - nonetheless devours greedily, regardless of the source.
