    of an old Church which stands in the field. This Church is supposed to have been built by "Blessed Oliver Plunkett". A friend of "Blessed Oliver's" used to go to mass to "Loughcrew" Church and she used to kneel beside a sister of hers. Her sister used to say to her I can't kneel beside you because I smell turf of you (the one used to burn turf in her home)
    Blessed Oliver is supposed to have built the Church for the one who used to burn the turf so as that she might not have to go to "Loughcrew" anymore. Anyway the ruins of the Church is there to see whether it was built for that reason or not.
