There was a chapel in Flaska which was removed to Killina in 1860. The site of the old chapel is never used for any purpose. It is a little field beside the house of a man named Cunane and it is always fenced in and considered holy ground. It is never tilled nor are cattle allowed on it.
The father of the present owner had a cure for calf itch and skin diseases. He died some years ago.
