  1. There are ruins of an old church in Inch, in the Parish of Clongeen. The church was built in 1600, and was in ruins in 1998. One night between 12 and 1 o clock about 35 years ago a man was walking by the church when he heard a noise like men walking, he was not afraid or did not believe in Ghosts. He looked into the place where the church stood, and he saw the figure of a man ringing a bell the bell was on a stand. It was in front off the church, he then saw people going into the church, they all appeared to be strangers to him. he did not wait any longer.
    The bell was heard ringing one night since by a man named James Kinsella, about 20 years ago.
