    There are several old graveyards in this district. There are about four graveyards in this district namely. The new cemetary Rocgarrow, Kilafree and another down at Castletown. All of them are in use still. Kilafree is round and there is a ruin in every one of them except the new cemetary and and in Castletown. They are all level and trees grow in them except the new cemetary. There are old in Kilafree and Racgarrow and here are a few dates.
