“There is a field belonging to Mr Fitzgerald of Mt. Brigid called Páircín na Cille which means the little field of a church.”

There is a field belonging to Mr. Fitzgerald of Mt. Brigid called Páircín na Cille which means the little field of the church. There is a white thorn bush growing in the middle of the field. Under this bush there are a lot of big stones.
It is said that unbaptised babies were buried there long ago. It is only the very old people in the place that remember these burials.
