  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are three grave yards in parish, the oldest of these is Port which is on an island in the middle of the lake. Templeport Church yard is the next oldest. It is a short distance from Port. The other graveyard is Kilnavart. All these gravveyards are still used as the people like to bury in the graves of their ancestors. In Port graveyard can be seen the ruins of an old Church. Another old graveyard is in Newtowngore, it is called Moy and there is a ruin there also.
