- (continued from previous page)[where] the bishop was killed there is blood on a stone where his head met it. It was off a big waterfall he fell. The place belongs to Mrs La Terriere where the bishop was killed. There is a pond in it and it is not like any other water. It is called the Still Waters. It is not running at all. That is called the Still Waters.
- How Kiltinan got its name was when Bishop Tinan was killed the people put Kiltinan on that place. There is a little house in a little field and it isn't known yet what it is. There's nothing inside it. It is a little round house. there is a very old graveyard in it. It is there where Bishop Tinan is buried.
