    “The graveyard I know best is Kilgrogan.”

    Share Share Post
    The graveyard I know best is Kilgrogan. It is situated in the Townland of Kilgrogan. There are no ruins in it. There are trees growing inside in the graveyard. There are no tombs but there are crosses and monuments in it. There are people buried all over the graveyard.
    It is said that when one is buried there two more will follow soon afterwards. It is also said that the last buried there must draw water to the rest. People are brought long distances to be buried there.
