  1. Long ago there was a graveyard in a place named Ulla Co Cork. One night it ran over two fields and then it reached the Blackwater. It sailed down the river until it reached a place named Nohival. During its journey one of the headstones fell into the Blackwater and it is to be seen there still.
    The graveyard is still in Nohival Co Cork bout two miles from Rathmore Co Kerry. Many people are buried there. Some of the graves that were in Ulla Co Cork about three miles from Ballydesmond.
