- Old Graveyards
There are two graveyards in our Parish known as Kilcommon + St. John's. The townland they are in is Ballybrogan and Rinnegan. They are both very old, but are still in use. St. John's graveyard is round with a hill in the middle. It is almost completely surrounded by big trees. There is no church or cross of any interest in it, but over a few very old graves are the three flags, two upright and one horizontal, the cromlech of olden times.
In the centre of Kilcommon churchyard are the ruins of an old church.
