A short distance from the ancient churchyard there is a green mound (in Dillon's field) composed of pillar stones known as Dolmens. This is evidently a pre-Christian cemetry. Some of the stones are much like those of the Carramore mountains near Sligo and may belong to the Bronze Age.

Lis-da-Earlaigh or the fort of the two eagles. There was a castle at Rockley adjacent to Lisnagru but scarcely any trace of it now remains.
