“The graveyard I know best is Churchtown graveyard. It is in the townland of Churchtown.”
The graveyard I know best is Churchtown graveyard. It is in the townland of Churchtown. There is one ruin in it, it is the remains of an old church.
There is an ash tree growing out of the sanctuary and that shows people that the church must be very old. There is one tomb in the graveyard it belongs to the Glovers who were living in Egmont formerly. There are about fourteen monuments and one cross. It belongs to Kavanaghs of Buttevant. There were a lot of people buried in the ruin long ago. The people are not brought long distances because the most of them are inhabitants of Churchtown.
