    Share Share Post
    There are three graveyards in this parish. The names of the graveyards are Temple-A-Valley in the townland of Clonkeen. Noughill in the townland of of Noughill and Arnacraney in the to townland of Ardnacraney.
    They are all still in use but Noughill may soon be closed. The churchyards are all round in shape. The ruins of old churches are still to be seen in the three. Temple-a-Valley and Ardnacraney are level but Noughill slopes to the west. There are Yew trees in all of them. The Feeneys and Conlons are buried in the ruins of Noughill. Unbaptised children are generally buried in the darkest corner of a graveyard.
