  1. Colourty Lios
    There is a children's burial ground in Colourty in John Dooly's land. A row of white thorn bushes about twenty yards in length makes the division between the other land. Some old people were buried there also in olden times. Similar places are scattered in various parts of the country similar to this originally intended to be the burial ground of unbaptized children. They are sometimes call "Cilleachain", and the village of "Coilleach", between Abbey and Ballyglunin got it's name from one of these.
