  1. The Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Dromore and in the farm of Mr M.J. O' Brien is situated an old graveyard. This is a very interesting place.
    In it are three large headstones, and several small ones. There are three crosses cut in one of the large ones.
    There is a chalice cut in another. One of the headstones is facing west and this signifies that a Bishop or a Priest is buried there. No sign of a Church is to be seen there but it is locally believed that it was there. The field is about one acre in size.
    Around it is a fence and the cemetry is in the middle.
