    After the battle of Aughrim, an Irish soldier went to rest near this graveyard. It is said that a man jumped out from under a ditch near him and shot him.
    He was buried in the graveyard that was near him.
    I heard that every one that came to the grave left a stone over it. There is a very big heap of stones to be seen there. There is grass, and moss growing round the place now.
