“There is a story told about Kilgrogan grave yard.”

There is a story told about Kilgrogan grave yard.

People say that if one person is buried there two will follow quickly and the last one to be buried will have to draw water to the rest until another person is buried.
People are brought from far away places to be buried there and long ago if two funerals were on the way to it at the same time there would be a race and may be a fight to get there first and so save the dead person the trouble of drawing the water.
