    the walls of the old church. There are the remains of two underground cellars in the Grave-yard also. It also contains very old tombs, the writing on them is very hard to make out. The crosses are all made of wood. There is an old story told in connection with the grave-yard. One time there was a large stone which used to carry the corpse and four men across the water to the Grave-yard. Every time the corpse would come to Drumnee shore, the stone would sail out and take in the corpse and four men to the Grave-yard. This continued for a long time until someone did something to the stone, and it was never seen anymore.
