  1. I know of a stone in the Minister's field and it is an old tomb stone and I do not know who it belongs to but people say that it belongs to a man in this parish that died a very long time ago and that he was buried in the Minister's field and that a long time ago the tomb was disturbed and it is (l) against the ditch now.
    There is a stone on the Ballynabarney road and it has two little holes in it and even in the summer they are full of water. This stone is said to have been in an old monastery for holding holy water. When the monastery was blown up the stone landed where it now is.
    There is a stone at the (bad) back of our house. it is a square stone with two holes in it and people say that is where a person is buried and that the stone is an old fashioned tombstone.
