“There is a piece of ground called Lisín.”
There is a piece of ground called Lisín. People are buried there - a village schoolmaster and his wife called Tóner or Tónra. The remains of the school can be seen near where they are buried. The site of the graves is never tilled. It is enclosed by a bank of earth.
Close to this on Own Kane's land there is a sandpit. A girl called Mac Manamon is buried in it. She was dead three days before she was found.
There is a man buried in "the island" of Coill Mór Lake.
There people died during the famine.
