  1. Drumcrin Graveyard

    Share Share Post
    Drumcrin Graveyard is situated on an old road leading off the main Cavan-Clones Road. It is very ancient.
    The headstones seem very old and some of them are peculiarly engraved. On some of them are game-cocks while others are adorned with hounds. In the centre is a fir-tree, which serves as a guide to strangers.
    The remains of a monastery and the ruins of an ivy covered tower are still to be seen in the graveyard.
