- There are four graveyards in Ashford Parish, namely, Killiskey, Trinity, Killfea and Kiloughter. To all appearance Killfea seems to be the oldest. There are not many being buried in it now, there might be one funeral in the year. The are tombstones in it. Some of them are new looking, and you could read the writing that is on them. Others are very old, and you could scarcely read the name son them. There are other stones over graves and they are worn down to half their real size, they are so old.Trinity graveyard is about one and half miles from Ballyduff School. It is better kept than Killfea, and it is much bigger.Kiloughter graveyard is very far away from us, and for that reason we do not know much about it. Only that it is very old, and there is talk about it being closed down.Killiskey graveyard is about a half mile from Ballyduff School. Killiskey got its name because there is a small stream of water flowing close by the graveyard, and later on it joins the river Vartry(continues on next page)
