  1. Local Monuments

    There are no ancient crosses in this Parish. There is a monument in the town-land of Coolmoore about three miles from here. It is situated on the top of a hill. It is called Reynold’s Monument and it is in the Parish of Kilbarron. There was a heap of stones on our hill in Carnhugh and inside was a square stone or slab. It was triangle and the shape of a crows foot in the centre. It was said that the Danes had it for a land mark. Father has it still to be seen. Further up by Pettigo there is another.
