    In Tavanagh village there is a "Killeen". It is situated at the side of a hill. Round it in a circle grows many white thorn bushes. Children under the age of three months were buried there. Long ago, a little church stood there. Mass was said there in the Penal times, but it is said it was burned down. This ground was consecrated, and children were buried there. Three children from Barnagurry, were buried in this "Killeen"
