  1. Historic - The Famine Period

    Share Share Post
    Several deaths from hunger occurred in Shramore during the Famine.
    Two sisters named Phillips died in Glenamorg - (a townland of Shramore) and are buried in a field near the Glenamorg River.
    There are several graves in the vicinity of Freenlaur Lodge (a Lodge or tourist resort convenient to Shramore village)
    The people of the village were taking these corps to Burrishoole (?) for burial, but were too weak to proceed farther, so they buried them at the most convenient place.
