    Gravestones
    There is a field in the townland of Fantane in the parish of Borrisoleigh which is owned by a man named Michael Hogan.
    In it are numerous marks of graves with a stone standing at the head of each. These are said to be there about two hundred years and are erected over those who died during a plague of cholera.
