  1. Site of a chapel at Dunbogue, Belgooly, Kinsale. About fifty years ago some girls went searching for goats in the neighbourhood of Patrick McCarthy’s farm at Dunbogue about nightfall. As they stood at the entrance of the bóithrín leading to the farmhouse they heard close by on their left hand a jangling sound as if of heavy rosary beads. One of the girls on returning home told her grandmother. The old woman remarked “Ye heard the dead saying the Rosary. Often in the old days Mass was said on that very spot”.
