Ancient Burial Ground

When Dr P McKay of the Northern Ireland Place Names Project visited the Association in March of 2004, this was one town land he commented on. His research of the name led him to believe that a grave should exist there. That night no one knew anything about it. However, sixty years ago there was a standing stone in a field in Killylackey facing Killyfole Lough and a raised rectangular area known as ‘the croquet ground’. What was not recognized was that the Irish word for grave is croghan and clearly this was the croghan ground and ancient passage grave with a marker. Sadly due to lack of understanding of its significance it was leveled when the land was drained and cleared of trees and scrub.
