In the old graveyard both Catholics and Protestants are buried there. Tradition goes that Saint Finnbarr was on his way to Gougane Barra and he celebrated mass in this ruined Church and it is ever sence known as Saint Finnbarrs Cemetery. The old tombstones are known as keels.
- It is said that are two big flat stones to be seen above in the Old Graveyard and there are signs of fingers printed on them. These were stolen during the night time and put back again by the fairies in the same place
