  2. The Grave Field

    Share Share Post
    There is a grave-yard on Bradley's farm beside the old road that crosses the Skehana road at Kiltown and goes down to the Loon road. Unbaptised children were buried there a long time ago. There are no tombstones there but the marks of the graves are there yet.
