  1. Churchtown formerly known as Knockane is situated about two miles to the West of Beaufort. There is a Catholic burying ground and there is also a Protestant Church built in the burying ground. There is a stone wall built around the grounds and an iron gate and an iron gate leads into the preaching Church. The Protestants would not allow the Catholics take their dead in by that gate. They have to go through an old road and take the coffin in over the stone-walk. There was a famous bone setter living in that townland and he used always go to the grave-yard for the old boards of coffins to put to the broken limbs.
