  1. Penal Times

    Share Share Post
    In the penal times there was a priest shot in the north side of Old Mill and it is the custom ever since that when a person passes the place where he was shot he throws a stone there and prays for the priest that was shot.
    William Moynihan told me that his father told him that he often saw two men in the famine years carrying a corpse between them on a ladder without a coffin only just as he died to Dunbeacon graveyard.
