Another adjoining townland is Killucan where there is an ancient graveyard where there are several old flat stone tombs. When I visited this graveyard I couldn't make out some of the dates they are so worn away, but the Rycrofts tomb is very old. I could see 169- something. The most important old family here seems to have been Mac Dermott.
