    The Old Graveyards 30-5-1938
    There are two graveyards in the parish. Their names are St. Augustines and the Old Abbey. St. Augustines is situated in Crossconnell, and the old Abbey is situated in Abbey Park. Both of them are in use.
    The Old Abbey is round in shape. St. Augustines Church is not altogether round. The Old Abbey is ruined. There is still a church in St. Augstines. Neither of the churchyards are level. St. Augustines slopes towards the North and the Old Abbey slopes to the South. There are no trees growing in the graveyards now. Long ago there were trees growing in the Old Abbey.
