    the remains of an old monastery there.
    The graveyard which is in Killgeever is level. There are very few tombstones erected over the people that are buried there/
    There is a flat stone in the centre of the graveyard with the track of a knee in it. It is said that when St. Patrick came to this rock knelt on it to say his prayers and when he arose the track of his knee was in the stone. The track of his knee is still there.
    There is a blessedwell there also and people come from far and near to perform the stations of Cross at that well. Many miracles are wrought there each year.
