    protestants from carting over the chapel grounds.
    O'Connell studied the matter carefully and told him that the olny way he could prevent this was, to use the ground around the chapel as a cemetery.
    In the year eighteen hundred and forty it was opened and since then it has been used as a graveyard. It is now a beautiful cemetery consisting of graves and beautiful headstones, most of them consist of priest's graves. The Johnstons were prohibited from using the chapel yard as a cart way.
