- Monanimy Church Killavullin was built by the Knights of St. John. They built one in Carrig (Mallow) too where they had a monastery as well. At that time there was a rookery in Carrig but as the crows used annoy the monks, they banished them. The monks tombs are supposed to be underneath the entrance to the garden and the stableyard where a hollow sound can be still heard. There is also a place called the "Friars' Chair" where the monks used pray. It is on the rock overhanging the river Blackwater. It can be seen there today. The monks' treasure is supposed to be hidden in Carrig and although several attempts have been made to discover it none was successful.
