- There is one Graveyard in Ballina called Killick Feahan. It is still used. There is a yew and an ash tre growing in it and there is a little hedge of rose bushes growing over Owen Malones grave. One end of it is surrounded by a wall in which children who are not baptized are buried. There are two black wooden crosses and a steel one in it The oldest is there since 1800.
