- (continued from previous page)the History
Mick Flinn and a young boy named Dwyer were passing by the ruin on this particular moonlight night, having a dog of Flinn's with them. They were walking in the field just outside the ruin & called the cláirín meaning the small level field from Clár a board, a table. The dog ran into the bushes smelling around, when suddenly he gave an unearthly yell & ran home : next morning the dog was dead.Another labouring man who was working in the field just outside the little churchyard said he head the Mass bell, ie. the bell rung during Elevation &e. ringing; pulling turnips the man was, and it is thought that it was on that spot the church was in olden times.I visited this old graveyard in May 1934. There is an iron gate - a small one leading into from the road: there is a pathway from this gate through a wet, marshy field, and there stands the ruin, with trees and bushes growing thickly around it. It is a small place, but high and flat, and a fine view and beautiful scenery can be seen(continues on next page)
