A few miles from Stranorlar there is an old graveyard and there is a mound in the middle of it. People say that in the days of famine the people were dying in hundreds and they could not be buried properly. So the dead people were put side by side in the graveyard and covered with green sods so that this mound really consists of human bodies.
In the same graveyard there is a soldier buried who fought at the Battle of the Boyne. There are seven father Devanny buried in it also.
