  1. There is one graveyard in the Parish of Causeway and it is called Killury graveyard. In the Parish of Ballyheigue there are two graveyards, Balyyheigue and Keel, and also in the Parish of Ballyduff there are three graveyards named Rahela, Rattoo and Kileen.
    In Ballyheigue graveyard there is a Protestant church and the Parson comes there every third Sunday from Tralee to read the service, and the Galgures and Fitzells of Kilmorthy, and Isaac Kidd of Ballyheigue come there to listen to him because they are Protestants.
    The majority of the graveyards are sloping to the south and very few of them are level. Trees are growing in the Killury and Rattoo graveyards.
    On the graves there are crosses and some of them are ornamented and others are not.
