What is recorded here

Dromduvane holds a flat-topped stone pointing south beside a depression said to bury a priest shot by soldiers. The nearby well, named Tobar an tSagart, still marks the place where that violence entered the land. A gentle slope and ordinary field fence disguise the tragedy beneath them.
