St Brochan had a graveyard near his church & for many years people were buried here, but it is not used now. - There is a ford in Clonbrock (Offaly) & there was another in Cushina until the river was recently drained (latter ford was near Mc Donaher's house).
- St Brochan's Stone:- This stone is situated near St.Brochan's church - it is very big-. Marks of St. Brochan's head on it. There is a cure supposed to be in it for headaches.The person must put his head where the impression of Saint's head is on the stone & say some prayers. (Prayers usually said are 3 Hail Mary's)
