- There are two old graveyards in the Parish of Rathvilly. One is situated in the townland of Rathvilly and the other in the townland of Killteagan. They are still used. The two graveyards are not round in shape, they are square. There are no church ruins in our Parish. The two churchyards are very level. There are nice palm trees growing round the two graveyards.
