   Father Egan a former abbot of this monastery is buried in the Sacristy.

   There is also a disused graveyard on the Shannon Road commonly called Annie's Pasture. The mounds showing the places of the graves are plain to be seen, but there are no monuments. It was here the parish church stood in former days.

   There is a field in Attigara townland owned by Mr Michael Curley and unbaptised children were buried in it. A field owned by Mr John Wallace on the Woodford Road 1/2 mile from Portumna, was also used for the same purpose. Such fields are supposed to contain "strays". Many stories are related how people have spent hours in lonesome fields and were unable to find their way out.

   Annie's Pasture - that burial place on the Shannon Road was opened at the time of the dreadful cholera, the famine victims are buried here. It is so called because a woman named Anne (-) owned this field. Nearby are the ruins of the old hospital erected during the famine period.
