    There are ruins of a chapel in Killag. Cromwell plundered the chapel in the 16th century.
    There is a tunnel going from the chapel to the dining-room in .
    Ballymagir. The priests used to hide in this from Cromwell's soldiers.
    There are stones at the mouth of this tunnel, which is in the middle of the chapel. People never went through this tunnel since the 16th century. Some priests are said to have been murdered in this tunnel.
