- In Inan in a field of McKeoghs' there are three graves. These are the graves of three soldiers. A landlord named Dobbyn sent the soldiers to evict some of his tenants. The people refused to leave and they attacked the soldiers. The soldiers were not able to conquer them, and the people killed them and buried them in McKeoghs field.
