    one in Crosspatrick one in Milltown one in Rathernan. There is a ruin in the old graveyard in Allen. There used to be a ruin in Crosspatrick, but it was knocked down recently. Unbaptized children are buried in the night. There are some laurel and lilac trees in some of the graveyards and it is unlucky (for) to break a bough off any of the trees. The graveyards are square and the graves are faced towards the rising sun. There is a slope in Rathernan graveyard and no people are buried in that slope.
