  2. Local Monuments

    Share Share Post
    In Drumcar graveyard there are some very old tombstones - one of which bears an Inscription - barely decipherable in Irish
    Another contains the following:-

    "Remember man as thou pass by,
    As you are now, so once was I,
    As I am now, so you will be,
    Prepare for death and follow me".

    Another bears:-
    "Here lies a man, who never knew
    Nothing but was just and true,
    He to the poor was justly kind,
    Eternal rest his soul may find.
