  1. Old Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There is a very old graveyard in Kilmannon, Clearistown. It is a square piece of ground with an ancient castle in the centre.
    In it stand many old tombstones, some of them with no inscription. They are not like the tombstones of to-day-carved out of marble or limestone, but are big common slabs of stone.
    In this graveyard a Priest is buried, but the inscription on his tombstone cannot be made out.
