Corrigeen means Little Rock and it is an old churchyard situated in the townsland of Ballinahown. It was once part of the monastery of Lahool, which was founded by Saint Manman in the seventh century .The monastery was there until 1535(The Reformation). I live in Garryheather. In lrish, it is called Garraidh Uibhir. This means ' the knights Quarter'. There is a Bronze burial mound dating back to 3,000 BC near our house (in Carrols field). In the centre of the Graveyard, there are the remains of a thatched chapel dating from 1828 (Catholic Emancipation). There was a grave slab, which covered a bishop or Abbott. This was removed safely to the church grounds of Clonaslee. By Tadgh
