- An Old GraveyardNot far from our house in Mahoney's land there is supposed to be an old graveyard. Long ago this graveyard was used for burying young children that died without Baptism. All the unbaptised children that died at Mahoneys and at the neighbouring houses were buried there. There are still some small pointed stones jutting up out of the ground and these stones are supposed to be the headstones of the little children.Collected by:- Mary Donohoe, Ballyyara, Bullaun.
From:- My Grandmother. Same address. On the 19th Nov 1937 age 80.
