- There is one churchyard in this parish. It is called Kilruane and is situated in the same village. There was no road leading to it up to thirty years but a little path leading from the main road called "bóithrin na gcorp". The Graveyard is rectangular in shape and a hill in the middle sloping to the east and west. There is also a ruined church in it. There were trees growing in it but they were cut down recently. There is one tomb in and it belongs to the O Briens of Kiltomaine. Some of the crosses are ornamented. There are no crosses made of wood or iron but they are made of stone and marble. It is difficult to say whither people are buried within the ruin of the church or not as there is only a gable of it standing now. The unbaptised children are buried in Silverfield. It is called "Caldra". Some local people take their dead to distant graveyards.
