The following photograph is from Errigle Cross Graveyard ..the oldest cemetery in Errigle
Cieran Catholic Parish.  The cemetery is perched high on a hill, in the
Celtic tradtion, overlooking Ballynasaggart.  It is about 1/2 mile from
Errigle Kerrogue COI Church and graveyard.

These are located a few miles west of Ballygawley, north of the
Belfast-Enniskillen Road.
