   There is a graveyard at Mullinacross in the Parish of Drumholm. Beside this graveyard there is an old monastery and another old graveyard. The monastery of Drumholm was situated in the graveyard which is now in Mullinacross. It is supposed that it was on the same site as the ruins of the old church now stands.
