    Share Share Post
    There are four graveyards in this parish. Treen-laur, Bohea, Aughavale and Drummin. Treenlaur is situated a mile and a half south west of this school. Bohea is a half mile south of this school. Drummin is south west of this school about 4 miles. Aughavale is north of this school about 2 1/2 miles.
    Treenlaur is a roundgrave unbaptised children were buried in it and now it is used for a pen for sheep.
    Bohea is still used for burying unbaptised children. It is not level graveyard and bushes are growing on south-west of it. There is a blessed well here also and St. Patrick's rock is here.
    Drummin graveyard is shaped like a square. The church is in the middle and there are bushes growing all around on the fences.
