(continued from previous page)there at the Consecration. Up to 40 years ago people used to come from far away and pull the GRASS off the spot and put it in their mouths TO CURE TOOTHACHE. About 40 years ago two men who were working with James OMahony's father opened the place slightly and saw brick and mortar beneath the sod, also several bones like shins.
