    there are a lot of old crosses in it. It is walled in all round, and a few years ago it got too crowded - and a new bit was taken in. Now it is a very big graveyard.
    In Abbeydorney graveyard there are the ruins of an Abbey there which long ago belonged to the Cistercian monks. There is a long by-road leading into it + in the graveyard there are a lot of old graves + crosses.
    When Cromwell came to Ireland he burned these Abbeys + now there is nothing left but the ruins + ivy growing on them.
    Most families have certain burial places for themselves + their relatives.
