Graveyards

Craughaun Graveyard

In the Craughaun Graveyard, there was a wedge tomb called the Ballinphunta Dolmen. Due to the extension of the graveyard, the tomb was excavated in 1990 by a group led by Brian Hodkinson. FÁS workers erected a replica of this tomb in the new section of the graveyard.

There is a vault to the Blood family in the graveyard dating from 1738. Robert Maghlin was buried in the vault in this year. The ruins of the old church are also in the graveyard. Fr Frost was buried in the church in 1768. Inside the church there is a tomb to the Carmody family that is dated 1739. This tomb was reconstructed in 1843. Before the 15th century, the MacNamara clan was buried here.
