Written by James Trearty whose grandfather Denis Trearty, age 72, told him of it.
My grandfather told me that there was an old graveyard under the rocks in front of our house.It was dug up when he was young. He says that the old people said from it that the town- land got its name - Cill - mhic - luigh. Lugh was said to be a son of the man who had a fort - Dún - luigh -about five miles from us. There are no traces of this graveyard now.3. Sean - Reilig at Cashel, Creeslough.

There is a graveyard in our field at Cashel, and it is said to be one of the oldest in the district of Mevagh. There are no tombstones in it, and no one has been buried in it for a long, long time.
