193.16 "At Kilmachalmaig, there was a chapel dedicated to St Calmaig, with a burying ground attached; the Chapel is now entirely removed. Near where it stood is a standing stone, with a cross sculptured on the face of it; within the field where this cross stands, five stone coffins were dug up about 35 years ago, by the present tenant, Mr. Hunter; sometime previous to that a labourer, who was cutting a drain through the field, came upon some of those sepulchral remains, at which he became so frightened as to leave off his work, and soon after he became deranged, from the shock he received on opening such a Golgotha," "Wilsons Guide"
