- There are four graveyards in this parish one at Crecora, Lemonfield, Killonahan and Boultar.
The land in Crecora slopes to the east, while in Killonahan and Coultar it slopes to the north.
There is one very old vault in Crecora known as the McMurroughs vault. Mc Murroughs wife had died and was buried in Crecora. After her death McMurrough erected a vault over her grave. When himself died he was also buried in vault. Since then he is referred to as "the man who built his own vault".
