  1. There are three churchyards in my Parish. One in Killina another in Rahan and another in Seanacille. One of them is in use it is in Killina. There is a church in Killina, and there is the ruins of a church and a monastery in each of the other two places.
    The churchyards are level and there are a lot of trees growing in them. There are a lot of monuments in the graveyards. They are made of stone, and some of them are square and more of them shaped like a cross.
