    In an "Auld" ruined church near Kilmore there was a pair of "auld" human skulls, which were placed in a window, and which were never known to be any other place but who ever or what ever put 'em there they were brought to Black-rock in a boat, and dumped, but they were there in the windows again the next day as fresh as a daisy, ans when they were buried it was the same story so the people got afraid of 'em and never meddled wud 'em since.
