    4. Clogheen:-
    4. Sean - Roiligh:- Sean_Roiligh is situated in the townland of Kiltaghan. Sean-Roiligh means "Old Graveyard". Children that died without Baptism were buried there. This graveyard is near the ruins of St. John's Church.
    5. Demense:- This place is not exactly a graveyard, but many graves are seen there. It is believed that Lord Spencer was buried there, because he owned that land. This land is at present belonged to Mr. Doran, Rathangan, but it is never used.
    There are also graveyards at Feigh Cullen, Dun Murray and Thomastown.
