Old Graveyards

There is a standing stone in a field of Philip O'Donnell's Ballybig, Carndonagh, and the people say it was one of the Tuadth De Danann who was buried under it, and he was supposed to be shot.

There are four graves in a field of John Nelson's Ballybig, Carndonagh, and they call it the "fort". There was a man named Micky Nelson, ploughing in that field and he heard a violin playing in it.
