- There are two graveyards in this parish, Bornacoola and Cloonmorris. There is an old ruined church in Cloonmorris. It is a level graveyard. There are no trees in the new grave-yard but there is trees and big stones in the old one, and some of the stones are 10 cwt weight. The church is said to have been built by St Morris and a stroke of a hammer was never heard. And there was a sine words inscripted on the walls in Saten and nobody knows it.
