    Local history records "A curious relic is preserved at Knockboy near the town of Monaghan (Tyholland Parish). It is called the "Balaghdthownagh" and consists of a box about the size of a thick folio volume containing a a crucifix and some relics. It is kept with the greatest veneration as a kind of heirloom of the Bradley family and is used as an attestation of innocence for imputed crimes which do not admit of the usual kind of evidence. When let out on an occasion of this kind valuable security is always required for its restoration.
