This record was created to cover the holy tree named as 'St. Kevin's Yew Tree' on both editions of the OS 6" map. On the OS 1st. ed. the tree's name is placed to the SW of the Cathedral (WI023-008003-) and a lone tree is shown immediately to the W of the name - due S and in line with the W gable of 'Our Lady's Church' (WI023-003001-), while on the latest ed. the tree's name is placed to the NW of the Cathedral, but a tree is not shown. Today there are no surface remains visible of this holy tree.
