Cooneys of Fiveacre are buried in Ballybrennan, and St. Michael's graveyard was the burial place of the Jones of Walshe's Lough.
In the Penal times when the soldiers were hunting for the Irish priests, they caught and killed one in Churchtown graveyard, and his blood is still to be seen on the church wall. Local families still use certain cemeteries outside this parish, for burial places. Hores of Hill-of-Sea, Tagoat, use a churchyard in Carne, which is eight miles distant, as a burialplace. Roberts of Rose Hill are buried in Castlebridge, which is about twelve miles distant. Codds of Kilscoran are buried in Enniscorthy, which is about twenty-five miles distant, and Corishes of Cottage are buried in Churchtown, Carne. There is one grave in the ruins of the church, which has a tomb on which the names of the people buried in it can be seen plainly. Jacobs are the people's names, who are buried in it.
