This past Sunday we drove up to a famine grave behind Ballyfarnon at Stanton’s Brae. The grave was set back in the Greaghnagergh Wood. The wood was beside the old Arigna mines and the entrance was marked by a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes.
Survivors too weak to bury all the dead separately, created a mass grave. At the grave, visitors had left small offerings of coins and hand-made St. Brigid’s crosses. I’ve posted a few more pics under More Photos.
