   There are two graveyards in the parish of Drimoleague. In the old graveyard both Catholics and Protestants are buried there. Tradition goes that Saint Finnbarr was on his way to Gougane Barra and he celebrated mass in this ruined Church and it is ever sence known as Saint Finnbarrs Cemetery. The old tombstones are known as keels.
