    Share Share Post
    There are four old graveyards in the Parish of Graine. In Kildrena, Kilahy Tubrid and Oglish. They are named after the townlands where they are situated. They are still in use.
    Kilahy and Oglish churchyards are round in Shape. There is a ruin of a church in all of them.
    Kilahy churchyard is sloped to the South. It is said that Kildrena churchyard was thrown down by soldiers from Spa Hill.
    About two miles from the churchyard there is a cave coming from Gore's Castle to Kildrena churchyard. Gore himself was brought by this cave to be buried in Kildrena churchyard.
    There is a vault in the churchyard in which Gore was buried.
    In Fubrid churchyard there are people buried within the ruin The last Mass was said in Oglish in the year 1730.
