    in Clonarney. The crosses are made of marble and stone.
    There are no people buried within the ruins of the church. Some of the people that are buried in the church yard are Lawrence Ginnell my Grandfather and Mother, Michael Reilly, Michael Fitzsimons of Delvin and Pat Croughan, there are plenty of more people buried in it too. There is no disused graveyard in my parish.

    The unbaptized children were buried in the grave yard where the people were buried, they were brought in a box in the evening the time that the sun is setting. Some people say that if you shout when you are going by the church yard you would rise the people from the dead.
