    Share Share Post
    There are three graveyards in the parish. They are Conwall, Leck and Gortlee. Conwall is situated in the townland of Conwall, Leck graveyard is in the townland of Leck, and Gortlee graveyard is situated in the townland of Gortlee. These graveyards are all still in use.
    None of the graveyards are round in shape. They are all square in shape.
    There is a ruined church in Conwall graveyard and the walls are still to be seen.
    There are some trees growing in the graveyards. There are some crosses and tomb-stones in the graveyards also. They are made of marble or wood.
