   There is an old graveyard in Lismatigue. It is a disused graveyard. It is near two hundred years since anyone was buried there. The last man that was buried there is Hydan of Kilmoge. It is round in shape. There are no crosses or tomb stones of any description. There is a little piece of a wall about five foot in height where the door of the chapel was. People used to come as pilgrims there forty years ago.
