  2. Place Names

    Share Share Post
    The parish of Crusheen got its name from the graveyard that is near it called the Island. Long ago when a person was going to be buried they would rest the coffin for a few minutes on a stone cross that is near the grave-yard and all the people would kneel down and say prayers for the dead person, before burying them, and that is how Crusheen got its name from the little cross.
