    Protestant churchyard which is very ancient.
    There are thousands of people buried there. There are no Catholics buried there.
    In Kells there is nothing but old grass growing and nettles and bushes. Some people say that there was a child buried in it not so long ago. It was only a place for burying unbaptised children. Sometimes you would see old bones in it. You can see the mounds of graves in it.
