    The father of Willie Enright Kilpadogue had the contract of burying the dead in Monakyle churchyard, now a disused graveyard in Dooncaha. He had one coffin, the bottom of which was hinged, so that when he got to the graveyard, he had little bother in lowering the body into the grave and bringing back the coffin again.
