  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are three grave yards in this parish called Castle - Rahan, One is situated in Cornahilt, one in Cornacre, and one in Munterconnaught. There is a church in each of them.
    The churches are not of a round shape but they are of an oblong shape. The graveyards are not very level; they are a little sloped. Some people say that when they are dying they do not want to be buried in another grave - yard in another parish.
    There are a few grave - yards that are of no use, people are not buried in them now.
