  2. An Ancient Local Cemetery

    Share Share Post
    In the middle of the townland of Dromore, about half-a-mile from this school, is an ancient cemetery on the farm of Michael O'Brien. I have visited this spot on five occasions, and I have found it a very hallowed and interesting place, as there are several head-stones there.
    Some of these head-stones are very big and on one of them a chalice is cut and, on another there are three crosses cut, one at the left-hand side of it, the other at the right-hand side, and the third on the top of it.
    There is a third large head-stone in this cemetery and I think it must be marking the grave of a priest, or perhaps a bishop, though I did not notice any cuttings on it. This head-stone is facing west
