  2. Funeral Cross - Cross Lake

    Share Share Post
    They say that a road from Cullenstown and Ballymadder passedalong here to the old church at Bannow.
    'Tis all washed away now but I heard the old people say that there was a big bush growing here and every funeral to the church stopped at it and they left the funeral cross at it. They say that is how 'twas called Cross Lake.
    When that road was gone the funerals went down the present road and they used to leave the crosses on a bush near Keanes of the Boker Hill. They never leave crosses now.
