No surface remains visible of any burial ground in field adjacent to Lackelly Rock (LI041-022----). Possible site of burial ground described by Lynch (1920, 100-2) as following; ' The local tradition is that St. Ailbhe was born at this rock, or under this stone, it is not very clear; but old people were in the habit of visiting the rock and reciting prayers on the 12th of September, the feast of St. Ailbhe, up to forty years ago, and the water which lay in some natural cavities of the rock, was used as a cure. Mr. Healy informed me that in the field where the stone lay human remains (skulls, &c.) had been found many years ago, and that it is believed to have been an ancient cemetery'.
