- Unbaptized children were buried near cross roads, these graveyards were called "crisín na leanbh".
There was one at the forge cross quite close to our school - Con Burke, Milane, Dunmanway told me that he remembers quite well throwing a stone on a little cairn there as he was going by. These graveyards are never used now-a-days.
Mr Draper, Rockgrove, Dunmanway said that twelve Germans (who were shipwrecked) were buried within the ruins of the old church in Currowrane Graveyard near Old Head of Kinsale.
There is a disused graveyard near Ballinacarriga Castle about four miles south-east of Dunmanway.
Mrs Hurley, Inch, Dunmanway said unbaptized children were buried at cross-road in West Kilbarry, and the place was called "crios na marbh".
