- There is a buriel place in County Roscommon called Killwholly where unbabtised children were buried. It is in the land of John Mearns and in the village of Fairymount.
It is said that any crop of potatoes that grew in that field were of no use. They could be boiling all day and still they would not be boiled. Some say it is because the graveyard is in an old fort in the middle of the field.
It is also said that crying and hand clapping is heard in the graveyard.
