- There is a place called Leact down a piece from Kiltenane graveyard and St. Sinon used say mass every day there long ago and the mass was printed on the stones of the Leact. One day a bell fell from heaven to St. Sinon and it was hid below near Martin King's house from the Protestants and six silver candles sticks fell with the bell from heaven.
The bell was found afterwards near King's house and was brought to Dublin and the cover of the bell is still in Dublin.
