There is a chapel standing to this day in Kinawley grave-yard and is still in use. There is an old ruin of an old chapel standing in Killaghaduff graveyard to this day. There are many big trees growing in Killaghaduff graveyard and around it. There are many trees growing in Kinawley also. There are many old graves where people were buried long ago, and there are many children's graves also. When children die that are not baptised they are buried along the edges of the graveyards.
