  1. There is a very old grave in Caranelacky. It is about three hundred years old.
    At that time the people used to be buried without a coffin. Kilmovee grave is the oldest in Ireland exept one in Cork. The unbaptized people used to be buried in Jim Griffins land in Magheraboy. They are buried there now.
    If you went in to a place where there was a man or woman milking a cow, Say "Bail of Dhia ar an obair" for fear you would bring the good luck.
    The duck can swim because she was not "amplach".
    There was a roll of butter left down to the hen and duck.
