  1. There is a leisín between Killamonagh and Curlane. A leisín is a place where children who are not baptised are buried. There was a lot of children buried in the Killamonagh leisín. There is a stone over each one that was buried. The leisín is owned by John O' Neill. The people are afraid to go up past that leisín late at night, because they say that you would see fairies there.
