The graveyard is about two miles from where the stone was. There is also an old graveyard to be seen in Grassyard this day. About a mile from where I live there is a "folach feadh."

The water of one of the ponds is always very dirty and the pond is all "yellow mould." The pond at the other side of the road is called Oliver's Hole because a man by the name of Oliver was drowned there.
