    Above story by
    Patrick Shovlin.
    Burkestown.
    Ardara.
    Patrick Shovlin's house was built about 70 yrs ago. While quarrying in a field under the road he dug up two flags. On each was an incised cross. He put one standing in the park and the other beside the house he built. He stopped quarrying where he found the flags. Both flags are in the position he planted them.
