All these graveyards except the latter are still in use. They are all square in shape. There are ruins of churches in all these graveyards except in Farrahy where there is a protestant church which was used up to lately. They are all level except Molagga and Farrahy which slope to the south and east respectively. There is a blessed well in Molagga.
