   J. C. Gamble of Rooskey says that CROMWELL'S SOLDIERS first attempted to fire at the church from Billyhill hill or the north side of the lake. Finding the church out of range, or for some other reason, they went on to Coronary hill. HIDDEN TREASURE Miss M. Montgomery (30) of Cornaveagh says that a man named Gamble once dived into Coronary lake near the graveyard and discovered an iron box sunk in the mud. On top of it he got an iron ? dish which is still said to be in J. Gamble's, Rooskey. He dived a second time but heard a voice warning him off on approaching the box. He obeyed. Miss Montgomery's grandmother knew Gamble. Note: John Gamble of Rooskey knows nothing about this story, nor has he the "iron dish". T.J.B.

There was also extensive bog around the church at that time. Clamps of turf then occupied the site of the present R.C. church and parochial house. According to Griffith's Valuation in 1845
