According to Simms (1999, 183-4), local tradition relates that in the past, Catholic funerals had to remain outside the gates of the graveyard (KD005-002002-) until the burial fees were paid and the coffin was rested on a stone in the interim. A small roughly dressed block of stone beside the E pier of the entrance gates is pointed to as having been the coffin-resting stone. However, Rochfort (1999, 74) states that a cross base (KD005-030----), once located at the edge of the Fair Green, served that function.
