- In Drung graveyard, there are the ruins of an old Catholic Church.
On Cromwell's time, the priest in charge of it, was hunted, and the building was handed over to the Protestant Church. The Protestants occupied it for many years, an then it was turned into a school.
It was a hedge-school, and children that went to it, had to pay for their lessons, and bring turf for the fires.
Afterwards a man bought the building, and made a vault out of it. Its walls can still be seen beside the new graveyard.
