	No burials are recorded in 1700:  but probably the last two 
        figures, which are indistinct, should be read 54, for among burials 
        there is the following record: - March 31  1754.  Robert Burfil 
        from Ballywaltern at Brey.

        N.B.	
        Robert son of John Burfield was buried  Jan. 28  1705.
	Mary, daughter of Robert Burfield was buried  Dec. 11  1668.

	There is no trace of this name at all in the Register. 
        No burials are recorded between Aug. 20 1697 & Oct.12 1702.

270.

271.

272.	A stone was found buried her in Sept  1897, but too much
        broken to be worth raising.  The inscription is as follows:-

273.	J.A.C. has a note:- M.A.Dearden buried in the N. of this 
        line - by yew tree.  The position cannot be quite accurately
        marked  on the map, because it encroaches on the Simpson stone,
        which had not been discovered when the map was made.  But 
        probably it is near this.
