Bonane or Bunane (Irish: An Bunán)[1] is a small village in County Kerry, Ireland, approximately 10 kilometres from Kenmare.
History
In his book on the history and oral tradition of Mass rocks, Tony Nugent alleges that the last killing of a Roman Catholic priest at a Mass rock took place in 1829 at Inse an tSagairt, near Bonane. A woman nicknamed Nell na Deataighe, or "Nell of the Smoke", who ran a shebeen at Glengarriff, conspired with five local men to kill the priest and split the £45 bounty among themselves. After capturing the priest during Mass, beheading him inside a house at Killowen near Kenmare, and bringing his severed head to Cork city, the six conspirators learned that Catholic Emancipation had just been signed into law and that no reward would be given. In frustration, the six priest hunters threw the severed head into the River Lee.[2]
