   "My sledge and hammers are declined
   My bellows too has lost the wind
   My fires extinguished
   My forge decayed

   In the disused Protestant church may be seen a plaque dedicated to the Harte Family who held the townlands of Boolavord and Clochamanach in 1664.

   Friarstown. The remains of the monastery here contain only one grave - that of Hunt, the landlord of the district up to 1898. A musician, his bagpipes are supposed to have been buried with him.

   The graveyard is on a square space enclosed by a wall and contains a small Protestant Church (disused). It slopes sharply to the north and contains many stones - possibly left over after building the church.
   The oldest grave dates from 1807 and stones erected in that period show very fine work in scroll, and figure sculpture.
