- 2. Sean Reilig at Kilmacloo, Creeslough.
Written by James Trearty whose grandfather Denis Trearty, age 72, told him of it.
My grandfather told me that there was an old graveyard under the rocks in front of our house.It was dug up when he was young. He says that the old people said from it that the town- land got its name - Cill - mhic - luigh. Lugh was said to be a son of the man who had a fort - Dún - luigh -about five miles from us. There are no traces of this graveyard now.3. Sean - Reilig at Cashel, Creeslough.
Written by James Ferry whose father told him about it.
There is a graveyard in our field at Cashel, and it is said to be one of the oldest in the district of Mevagh. There are no tombstones in it, and no one has been buried in it for a long, long time.
4. There was an ancient graveyard near Massinass School, Creeslough, but it was dug out when the Lough Swilly Railway ran through it.
