    “When Knock Moy Abbey was building the people said that it would last for hundreds of years.”

    Share Share Post
    When Knock Moy Abbey was building the people said that it would last for hundreds of years. One monk said that it would not last as long as what he was going to build so he build a small round tower and he put an iron cross on the top of it. It is still to be seen yet. Some people say that it was a monk that was buried there.
