  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are three Catholic grave - yards in this parish of Castlerahan, one of them is in the townland of Cornahilt and another in Cornacravee and the other is in Munterconnaught.
    All these churches are of a round shape. Those churches are all in use at present. There is a grave - yard in Kilmore and it is said the people who are buried in it are those who died in the time of the famine.
    There is a grave - yard in Lurgan and a lot of people from my district are buried there. There is a long arch in the centre of it, and a window at each end of it. It is said that monks lived there and are buried there. It is nearly all down in the ground.
