“In olden times the Creaghs were the landlords of this property.”
(continued from previous page)they gave him the money to build it. They also wanted to put aside money for its repairs but the Parish Priest refused that gift.
If he built the new chapel in their property that is in Shanakeale they would lose to it but because he built it at Boolteens they only gave him half the cost that s £500.
The lease of the school is up for the past year.
- Cloch na h-altóra
There is a height in Killeen on this height there is a big square rock like a table it is called cloch na h-altóra. It is thought that mass was offered up there in the penal days.
Years ago when the fishermen from this quarter were salmon fishing. They often fished on closed days Saturday and Sunday.
They were out one Sunday and they left a man in the look out "old Daniel Clifford". About the time that mass begun in Keel church he heard the mass bell ringing up to his ear. He threw himself on the ground and blessed himself and said Diadh le'm anam and prayed hard for some time. After that day he never went fishing on Sunday. - Collector
