  1. Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    In our parish there are three graveyards, one in Kilcolman another in Barnacarroll, and another in Ballinasmalla.
    In Barnacarroll the graveyard is at the back of the church, and the graves are arranged in lines and every family has his own burrying ground and it is railed with iron.
    In KIlcolman the graveyard is situated near the main road and in it are the ruins of an old chaple which Saint Kilcolman built. The graveyard is not as well cleaned as the Barnacarroll graveyard. The people are buried all over the graveyard and there are no paths in it and the graves are not arranged in lines like the Barnacarroll graveyard.
    The Ballinasmalla graveyard is situated near Claremorris and it is very clean and there is a large number of tombstones in it.
    Long ago the places where children were buried were called "lisheens". In our village there is one place like that and now it is haunted.
