- An old tower is still to be seen at Leopardstown in County Dublin which seems to have been associated with the monastry at Leopardstown in former days. A colony of lepers have also dwelt here some hundreds of years ago. Hence it got the name “LEPERSTOWN” which again has been changed to “LEOPARDSTOWN.About twenty years ago bones were discovered at Leopardstown which are believed to have been human ones.
- At Derrig Crag [Derrycrag] in Woodford, Co. Galway, there is a holy well. There is a pilgrimage to it every Saturday in the month of July.(continues on next page)
