    Share Share Post
    There are two churchyards in the parish
    They are situated in the townland of Cornea and Killeshandra. They are still in use. Both of them are round in shape. There is an old church in the graveyard in Killeshandra. There is only a small portion of the church remaining. The churchyard is level. There are many trees growing through it. There are no crosses or monuments in the graveyard. There are people buried in the ruin. It is priests that are mostly buried in the ruin. There are no disused graveyards in the parish. It is not known where unbaptised children were buried.
