  1. Graveyards of this Parish

    Share Share Post
    The principal are Menlough, Killascobe, Cloonkeen and the Moore. There are several Killahawns where children unbaptized are buried, one being in Skehana and the other at Corahawn in Windfield. These cemeteries contain several old tombstones dating back over a hundred years. The inscriptions on all are in English. Some of the tomb stones are table shaped. One belonging to Owens dates back to 1737. Others conical, one belonging to Ward which dates back to 1739.
    The Moore grave yard lights up on the night before a burial.
