It is situated in the parish of Glountane and in the townland of Bally Gobnait.
The grave yard is still in use and many people are being buried still there.
A great number of crosses and head stones are erected so that each family may know their own graves.
This grave yard is so called because a Holy well blessed by St Gobnaith in the centre of it.
This is an old story told about this grave yard.
One morning a boy was going by this graveyard having with him a cow which he had stolen.
On his way he met a man coming towards him. They stopped talking for a while.(continues on next page)
