It is said that there was a graveyard in one corner of it. At Bishop's house at the bounds ditch there is a fair sized rock & people say that this rock hides the entrance to the tunnel which connects the graveyard at Moneyhore with this old graveyard. People say that a large part of the tunnel goes along under the road and some say that a strange hollow sound is heard when cars pass along from the top of Doran's Hill (at the graveyard) to the avenue gate.
