- There is a little shed in Donore churchyard. Long ago before the people would be buried for three days they would take the coffins up again to examine the bodies to see from what disease the people died. This little shed was used for spying on the people who would lift up the bodies. There were holes in the door of this little shed which they would fire shots through. The poor men who travel the roads now sleep in this shed.
