- (continued from previous page)There is a wall throwing a lovely view to the church and graveyard.
There are no old graveyards in the parish. They say in olden times unbaptised children were buried in the gardens.
People don't bury in their own parish graveyards, they generally bury with their own people as the old people counted it very unlucky to make a new grave.
- There are five graveyards in the parish. Tallanstown, Philipstown, Charlestown, Cluain and Churchtown.
There are two of them not used, Charlestown and Cluain Crocáin. There are ruins of a church in Philipstown.
Tallanstown graveyard slopes in the direction of North East.
Some of the oldest dates in Tallanstown graveyard are 1791, 1761, 1789, 1788, 1802 and 1805.
