  2. Killimor Church

    Share Share Post
    This old church stood in Killimor village and some old inhabitants there say that its remains - some cut stone and a portion of a wall - are in a garden. They can also point out a spot at the gable of a dwelling house where some cut stone and a cross - said to be that of a church - lie buried. However, an old man in the village says that he does not believe the church stones would ever be used in a swelling house because the old people had a belief that anything belonging to a church should be thrown away or burned.
