Standing in the graveyard too was the old school of Macreddin, in which Miss Clare- afterwards Mrs. Andrew Allen of (Aughrim) Ballycreen N.S. used teach.
Macreddin Chapel is not in too bad a state of repair but there are no seats nor Confession boxes.
It is built in the shape of a Cross, facing South and the altar is made of wood.
Mass is said twice a year by the Parish Priest of Aughrim and his Curate from Greenane. These Masses are called "The Stations" and are said in March and October.
Both these graveyards are still used for burials but only by those whose ancestors have been buried there for years.(continues on next page)
- Rosahane Graveyard
