  1. There is a field in Mister Breen's called the Church Field. It is called the Church, Field, because in olden times there was a chapel there, and the ruins of it, and a graveyard are to be seen still. There is a big rock there where the chapel was, and it is a blessed rock with a little hole in it. There is blessed water in it, and old people say that it is for curing warts.
