- There are two graveyards in my parish. Mungret graveyard and Brecova graveyard. They are still in use. They are all square in shape. There is an old ruined grand Church in Mungret graveyard.
It is very level. There is a great number of trees growing in it, but they were cut down lately. It contains only a few tombs. There is an old ruined Monastery beside it. Most of the crosses are ornamented. The crosses are nearly all made of stone, but there are none made of iron.
People are not locally (made) buried within the graveyards unless the priests. There are no disused graveyards in my district. Unbaptised children are buried in unconsacrated ground.
