About two miles from the village of Ballinamore there is a lake known as [?] Lake. On this lake are three islands the largest of which is called Church Island. On this Island is a church the apex stone of which was taken to Lower Drumreilly as a mask for a grave it was once the practice when a funeral would go to this graveyard, to life this stone. It was carved and ornamented, it was not very heavy but owing to the way it had to be lifted, very few could do it. It had a hollow on each side, and into those two hollows the lifters had to put the heel of their hands, and press their knees against their hands, and lift the stone in that position. There is also a big tombstone that people used to lift in the same cemetery. The father of the writer of this was the last man to lift it when he was seventeen years of age. There was also a catholic church in this cemetry, it was built by St. [?], who built [?] Church and abbeys. It was at the building of this Church that [?] was first found.
