Tír-Dhá-Ghlas (Terryglass)  [duchas:4854238]

There are no inscriptions in the Irish language on even the oldest tombstones in the graveyard.  The Irish language must have died out here early in the 18th century, or perhaps it was disregarded for commercial purposes even in such a matter as inscribing a tombstone.
