  1. The Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are five graveyards in parish
    Easter Snow, Killapogue, Killucan, Killomud, Toomna (in Townlands of same name). All still in use. Trees in all five. All slope towards rising sun.
    Brianbeg or Beech Abbey is a disused graveyard. No one remembers burials having taken place there. Monks only were buried there. Near it is another disused graveyard in which lay people were buried.
    Unbaptised children are buried any where people may not walk over graves (not in graveyards).
    Kilcolan in townland of Killukin is also a disused graveyard.
