- In the graveyard in Churchtown, in the parish of Tagoat, in the Barony of Forth, there is a stone standing over the grave of a priest, named the Rev. Father Chievers of Churchtown, who said mass in the church there, which is now in ruins. It is a rectangular stone with a round top, and the date on it is 1747. In the same graveyard there is a stone of a similar kind, erected over a man named Redmond, who was a blacksmith. It is ornamented with the cutting of a hammer and pincers. This blacksmith is supposed to have made the first pike, which was used by the men of '98. He lived in Ballybro in this parish.
