    In Killua on each side of the front enterance gate is an image of Wellington and another of Lord Nelson. On another entrance gate in Killua is an image of an Angel blowing a trumpet over towards the graveyard with this inscription on it "A". "A". The old people say that this stands for "Arch Angel".
    On your way to Delvin you pass a monument known by the name of "Smiling Bess". The figure is the head of a woman.
    In Michael Briody's field in Killallon is erected a white stone cross about one foot high. People say that priests used to say Mass here during the penal days.
