    Tobar Patrick. The remains of a very old graveyard may be seen in a field owned by Tom Morris, Fihora, Cavan. This was known as "Caldra Hill".
    On Caldra Hill
    When day was done
    a lonesome sight met the setting sun
    The Fairies came with lanterns fair
    And laid to rest a coffin there.
    They were supposed to have stolen the coffin of a man who used to visit them often and bury it there. In John Kiernan's field of Ballyduffy, Moyne, there was a graveyard for unbaptised children.
