Ferry Wood

This was the site of a monastery Cill an Snámh. It was attacked by raiding Vikings, who slaughtered the monks. The only survivor was the Abbot who was visiting another monastery in Carlingford. The forest here contained a local Cillín (Killeen); a place where unbaptised babies, those who died at sea and those who died by suicide were buried, as this was prohibited in consecrated ground.
