  1. There are two graveyards in the parish and one long side it. One is situated in Dromtariffe and the other in Derrygallon. Dromtariffe graveyard is about four miles from Derrygallon school and Derrygallon graveyard about a mile from the school. Derrygallon graveyard is not used at the present time as it was the paupers from Kanturk workhouse that were buried there. The graveyard is a square plot. It is surrounded with a white thorn hedge. There are no headstones in it. There are trees growing in it. The graveyard is not level.
