- (continued from previous page)There were a lot of houses built in
this field where the trees are in olden
times.
One of the men who lived in one
of the houses died and was buried
in Mullinacuffe Graveyard and he got
a poem errected on his tombstone it is,
Here lies the body of John Neville.
Who tilled the field and made it level.
He is now dead and gone.
And has left his money to English John.
This piece is true because it is the levelest
field in the country where he tilled.
