What is recorded here

In a burial ground (MA048-030). O’Donovan recorded that ‘An old burial place lies in the Townland of Bunafinglass in the west of the Parish, where it is said there was formerly an Abbey. This is the only (most) frequented burying place in the Parish.’ (OS Letters 1838, Vol. 1, 68). The oldest part of the graveyard lies in the W half of its modern extent. Here, there is a low roughly circular rise (diam. c. 20m) which, according to local tradition, may have been the site of the abbey. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 January 2013
