STONE WALL ENCLOSURE
This old burial ground was and is enclosed by a stone wall and in the early days the entrance was through a solid iron door way, forged at the furnace of Micael Ege II. Like the majority of old graveyards thus one. With the passing of the years, became the prey of time and vandals. Many of the old tombstones were carried away including that of Michael Ege II In 1911, however, the descendants of Michael and George Ege raised the necessary funds to rebuild the stone fence and reset the remaining tomb-stones
The plot is now in a fairly good .state of repair.
