Clondegad ParishThe old church in this parish is totally ruined. There was a Protestant place of worship built in the same place as the Catholic Church was years ago. A large graveyard adjoins it. This parish was dedicated to a saint named Sgrevaun. On the opposite side of the Church are two wells which are called Tobar Sgrevaun at which patterns were held on 10th September. A little way from the Church is a recess in a cliff beside the stream, it is supposed to be St Sgrevaun's bed. There is a small burial place for children at Gortygeheen and another holy well and children's burial ground at Toberaviddaun. At Lisheen also is a small cemetery called Cill Aodha.
