- Quaker Island
There are the remains of a stone altar in Quaker Island and on this altar there is a vacant place which resembles where a stone chalice was left. This chalice is said to be got by the Bishop of the Diocese some years ago. There was also an ivory cross there and it is said to be buried for protection at the time of the Norman invasion in Ireland, others say that the Bishop of the Diocese got it.
At present there are several stones to be seen with imitations on them on one of them is a lamb. - Informant
