A field on the land of Mr. John O Sullivan of Gahanive is called the "Cill". It got this name because it was used as a graveyard long ago. There are little humps in the field which marks where the bodies are burried. It was never ploughed up because it is too rough and humpy, and moreover it is unlucky to have anything to do with that kind of a field.
