What is recorded here

Lantaur once held a church burial ground for Tullycorbet, though no one living remembered a grave there. The field may have swallowed names before memory arrived, or the church may have redirected its dead elsewhere when pride faded. Either way, the absence of marks does not erase the shape of what was lost.

There are references in the folk tradition (IFC: Schools MSS: (938) 365) to a field at Lantaur that had belonged to Tullycorbet church, but there had been no burials there within living memory.
