- A farmer named Mr Smith was ploughing his field above Mr Nolans house the horses would not go so he had to leave it alone. There was a grave-yard there long ago. The parish priest wanted to make a new graveyard up where Wm Mac Donalds house is Knocknagore. The Men were taking away the earth away but next morning it would be the same way as if they never dug it up. It is said that there was a grave-yard there long ago.
