    (continued from previous page)
    woman who was buried in Threecastles, and her husband could not rest in the night time because she used to appear to him and request to be removed. In the end he got some of the men to open the grave in the night-time and to carry the corpse to Tulla grave-yard and to bury it there. He was never troubled afterwards.
    Trees grow in these graveyards and there are many monuments and crosses erected in them also, all made of stone, except one or two which are made from iron.
