  1. Composition - Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are three graveyards in this parish. There are two in Roundfort and one in Robeen. Two of hem are shaped round and one square. They are sloped to the East. There are a number of old tombs in the old graveyard in Roundfort.
    There was a man passing the Robeen grave yard late one night. He met a big man at one of the gates. The man halted him. The other man asked him what did he want. The big man named out a certain grave. He told the other man to go in and pray at that grave for twelve nights.
