The closest cemetery to Dennbane/Denbawn and the land where the Sullivan/Soraghan's lived is a little over a mile away at Carrickaboy Glebe. There are two cemeteries, one which looks like it is from the 1800s with a couple of new graves and the
one across the street which is currently in use. The cemetery is served by St. Matthew's Church Drumavaddy.
Here are a few photos of the old cemetery. You can see the stones are all covered with lichen.
To the right in this photo, you can see a recent burial, but it was one of only a couple from the 20th century.
The gravestones were nearly impossible to read and no Soraghan/Sullivan names could be found.
