- This is the name of the local burial ground which is situated about a mile to the S.E. of the village. It is sometimes playfully called "the Knob".It was originally a burial ground for Infants, and was then known locally as Cillúrach, but this name fell into disuse when the churchyard became a common burial ground.
(Kerry. T. O Connor (now deceased) remembered the churchyard as a burial ground for infants. only. M Heffernan, January 1935) - The village well is known by this name, but sometimes Tobar na Tuinne (the well of the marsh). The marshy land is now drained and the old well has a pump erected on it, but the supply of water is still inexhaustible. Though the village now has water-works the water of Tuinn is still requisitioned for the tea. The only virtue attributed to this old well is the virtue of an ever-lasting supply of pure, sweet-tasting spring water.
