  1. There are the ruins of an old chapel on Templeboden grave-yard. It is situated about a quarter of a mile from the Lacken Chapel.
    It is called St Boden's Chapel. There is a well near this chapel and it is also called St Boden's Well. It is thought that many people were cured at this well, because there are crutches, sticks, medals, scapulars, and Agnus Deis.
