   Ancient grave-yard. Long disused. I made the
   appended sketch about the year 1907. During the past
   30 years that gable may have fallen & that head-stone
   with date 1608 may be no longer visible. Hence I offer
   no apology for including here:
   "Linkardstown was parish chapel before Tinryland
   Chapel was built. The name of the old parish was
   Tulla(ch) Ma Ghioma (Thullamagema). An old
   road by the graveyard out by the Long Stone in Castletown.
   That field there is called "Cúl na ccupóg' " (Bean Uí Foghladha)
   Cúl na Cupóg mentioned repeatedly in the Inquisitions
   as name of townland in this district, See importance of field-names.
