  1. The Graves in Ballinvally

    Share Share Post
    In the townland of Ballinvalley people do not know who owns the graves. There are plenty of them. There is a graveyard in the field called the Caldra, in which many people were buried. In the hedge there are two tombstones. The writing is so faint that it can barely be read. Pray for the souls of John Bray and also of Pat Lynch, who departed this life in the year 1774 R.I.P is written on them.
