  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are three grave - yards in this parish of Castlerahan. One in Cornahilt one in Cornacrae, and one in Munter - Connaught.
    There is a church in each of them. The churches are of an oblong shape. The grave - yards are not level; they are a little sloped. Some people say that when they die, they do not want to be buried in their own grave - yard; they want to be buried in another parish.
    There are a few grave - yards, that are of no use, people are not buried there now.
