    In the parish of Kilnamona in the townland of Shallee, near the ruins of Shallee castle there is a holy water font, it is rather queer in shape, it is not like any other holy water font, it is a square stone with a deep hollow in the middle of it, for the holy water, it is a peculiar grey colour, it is under a big tree, which hangs out over it and it looks like a shade for it. It is only a few yards away from the castle. It is said that, years ago Friars used to live in the castle, they used to pray in the castle and at other times they used to pray near the font. One day men were working in the field and they found the font and it is now considered very valuable.
