    (continued from previous page)
    In John McDermotts field in Cloonkeen theres the remains of an old church.It is a very ancient looking place.Some years ago McDermotts built a cattle shed against the side wall of the chapel but they had to take it down again as all his cattle were dying.
    A few hundred yards from the church there is the remains of a priests house and a path between the church and house.It is called the priests walk.
    Convenient to the chapel is a blessed well.Years ago people went on pilgirmage there.The last people seen there performing the station were the Hopkins of Arm.
    Unbaptized babies are still buried in the church yard.
