- In Killygally Co. Offaly there is an old graveyard called Killygally Cemetery. It is round in shape and is down in a hollow. There is a saint buried there called St. Anne. There are also ruins of an old Abbey there in which there is an archway with a window overhead in which there was a metal cross. This cross was taken out of it about four years ago by some unknown person.

- In the parish of Clonmacnoise there is an ancient graveyard in which nobody is buried but children under seven year old. In that graveyard there is a well which never goes dry. It is in the townsland of Glebe and on a high hill. It is called Mull Na Cille after a boy who was buried there.
