    (continued from previous page)
    During the time of the penal times many priests were hanged. There was one hung in Clonmel and beheaded and his head was placed on a spear outside the jail. One stormy night the wind blew the head into his sister's apron and she buried it with the body in a grave-yard near Clogheen.
