- Old Graveyards
There are three Graveyards in this parish one in Drumloman one in Ballynarry and one in Carrick. All those are still in use. The Drumloman graveyard is now used as a Protestant graveyard. It was used as a Catholic one long ago.
They are all rectangular. In two of them are Catholic Churches. The one in Drumloman is a Protestant one The Graveyard in Ballynarry is level. Many trees grow in them. Some of the crosses are very old.
There are a lot of Celtic crosses in Carrick. Some of them are made of wood iron and stone. Unbaptised Children are buried in a corner of a field.
