  1. Local Monuments
    In every district in Ireland there are some monuments or stones in connections with the Penal times or to show us where some priest or great hero was buried. In this district we have some monuments and stones.
    I visited St John's well and I saw a flat stone and some writing on it like the following:-
    [Below is a rough drawing with a wavy line around a circle - within the wavy line are, clockwise, the words "broken" "and other writings up here" "1769: Mr" "Bracken". Inside the circle is written "ST JOHNS. (in Latin)"]
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
