In the townland of Meenataggart there is a man named Connie Mc Groary and he has a field of meadow beside the river in which there are three old tombstones facing the south. Long ago there was a boy hired in Nohar Mc Groary's, Owenbuoys. One morning he got a crowbar and started to "hoke" under the tombstones.
