- A child was going to be buried in Kilbarron Church, and two men were digging the grave. As they were digging they saw a black oak coffin. The coffin was like one that was made long ago with the track of a hatchet in it. It is likely that some king or saint or someone like that was buried there. The men got afraid and did not touch it, but the child is buried beside the coffin. One day a man from Sligo was passing by the Church and brought a stone home with him, and it was cut in the shape of a man's head. The next day the stone was back at the Chuch again.
