   One in Ardagh is closed about 30 years and is in the grounds of Ardagh House. The other is at the back of the Protestant Church in Ardagh and surrounds the Cathedral of St Patrick. Both are closed. The one in Moydow is now to be closed. It is very ancient and there are graves 350 years old. Some insertions are in latin and there are stories in others.

Parson Mac Hugh was one day riding out on his horse. He had a new saddle and he met a man and showed him the saddle. The man said "English saddles have great creaks".
