   There is a vault in the church in which the Nugent family was interred. There is a big stone slab with four iron rings in it over this vault and the skulls and bones can be seen below. It is lined with bricks and has brick shelves and the coffins can be seen on them. There is a cross of granite erected to the memory of Colonel Nugent and his wife in the graveyard also. The last person to be buried here was Mrs. Mc Keogh an old woman who lived in a cottage beside the school.
