    Penal Days.
    John Duggan got some of the planks when he was cutting the turf two year’s ago.
    Fint Moore told me that in Clondarrig which is between Ross and Pallas there was a Chapel there long ago, because Fint Moore was told it by John Flynn who lived in Clondarrig.
    And the reason why he knew was that himself and other men were digging a grave they found the floor of the Chapel.
