  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    Hundreds of years ago there was an old cemetery on the top of "The Hill of the Forge", but nothing remains to mark the hallowed spot.
    There was also an old graveyard beside a well in Stackallen now commonly known as "Katty Harte's well" and up till a few years ago the tops of the old tombstones were barely to be seen above the ground but now they are completely hidden in the earth.
