“It is said that there was a child buried in Matthew Morrow's hill.”
It is said that there was a child buired in Matthew Morrow's hill. The story goes that the child was brought one day in the time of the famine to be buried in the in the graveyard and when the people came as far as the gate of the Cemetry it was locked and they couldnt get in and they were supposed to bury the child on the hill on the opposite side of the road. I haven't heard who the people were or where they came from.
