   There are two graveyards, killua and Killallon. They are still in use. Killua is round in shape. There is a ruined church in killua. Killua is higher in the center than any other part. There are trees all round the edge. There are some iron crosses. There are signs of where burials have taken place in side the church in Killua. There is no special place in this locality where unbaptized children were buried. There is no story or tradition about local graveyards. There is a vault in Killua. Killua graveyard is very small.
