    Drimagh Graveyard:-
    The graveyard in Drimagh is a very old one situated in the townland of Cashloura. It is s till known as Droigneac an Leam puill and contains a church-tower (Ruin) of ancient date. The graveyard is situated on the brow of a high hill overlooking the lake and sloping south. The cross-roads from which the graveyard is headed is called "Croipín na Marb."
    The graveyard contains the usual stone and marble crosses and monuments but it is gradually falling into disuse.
    Besides those graveyards there are many places (some are marked on the Ordnance Survey map) where people are supposed to have been buried. People will not touch those places and usually there is a Lullacán of stones gathered on the spot. It is impossible to say whether there are any grounds for calling those places "graves" or not.
