- Old Graveyards
There is an old graveyard in Drumlease. Very few people are buried in it now because it is very old. Some graves in it are dating back to the 18th century.
In Kellery there is an old graveyard with the walls of a church in it. In this graveyard the Straining threads are situated, for curing a strain.
Outside Dromahair is an old graveyard called Creevalea Abbey. There is blessed clay on a grave of a priest for curing sickness, but the relative must bring it to the house and bring it back when the person is cured. There is a tomb with carvings and the red hand of Ulster on it. The man underneath this tomb was one of the O'Donnells.
There is a church and graveyard in Carrickatemple and St. Patrick visited it.
