  2. At the Gate of Temple Keeran Church yard, on the Back Road, a priest was killed. He was buried there at the gate, in the place where he was killed and when at a funeral the people bring the coffin all around the priest's grave. There was a grand cross at this spot two and it is now in Lismullen Garden lying against a horse-chestnut tree. When Jimmy Reynolds was working in Lismullen garden he often saw it there lying against the tree.
