    who are buried in it were not natives of the parish. The last person to be buried there was a man named Patrick Donohue, who was a blacksmith and who lived in the townland of Kilquaine, parish of Craughwell. The graves are like those in Kilconieron. There is one tomb. As far as is known, no important person was buried in either one, and there is no monument.
    Unbaptised children used not be buried in thse graveyards but in a "liss" or "lisheen".
    A local family named Buckley, in Garracloone, use the graveyard at Killora in the parish of Craughwell for the burial of their dead.
