- There is a graveyard situated in Leitrim about a mile from my home.
It has been used for many years past.
Long ago, there was a catholic Church beside the graveyard in Leitrim. It stood for many years and after a while, the walls got very damp and fell away,
The stones were taken to build houses and there are some to be seen still.
There are many headstones in Leitrim graveyard and also some crosses. there are no vaults in it.
There is another grave - yard situated in Donaghmore about five mile from Leitrim. There are two (departments) in it, one for the Catholics and then other for Protestants.
There is a protestant church beside the graveyard in Donoghmore.
There is a vault in this Graveyard.
