    thicker the stone became. At last a wild animal like a pig jumped from the hole. She was followed immediately by her litter. All the wild animals ran towards Tample and the man feared that the wild animals might do harm. They followed them with loys and shovels and caught them at Killabeagh yard. Where Tample grave yard is now they killed the animals a d made a grave for them. From this "Cill" 'a grave' "beithidheach" 'beast' we have the name of Charlestown Parish Cill na mBheithidheach or Killabeagh.
