In the graveyard in Ballynakill, the oldest headstone
that we found was to Michael Foley who died on April 23rd 1794, aged
26. However inside the church ruin we found a headstone that was broken
in a number of pieces. This headstone was in memory to Anne Pigott who
died May 28th 1683. It appeared that this headstone was originally on
a pedestal near the wall of the church.
