    It is also said that huge logs of bog or black oak were got in this angle of the lake, these logs were sawn into boards for the making of chests, these chests are very common in this neighbourhood. The logs were brought in the summer time when the lake was low. An oak chest will last if kept dry for over a thousand years. Old people were questioned about this old graveyard and they knew nothing about it.
