    The Old Grave Yard
    9 - 9 -'38
    There is one graveyard in my parish. Its name is Abbey and it is situated in Rogerstown. It is still in use, the graveyard is square in shape. There is a protestant church in it.
    The graveyard is level, there are a lot of old tombs and crosses to be seen there. The crosses are made of iron. People were buried within the ruins of the wall.
    Unbaptised children were formerly buried in Lisheens, this place is not used now.
