Place & story
Church ruins and an estate boundary
By 1837 the ruins of Drumacoo’s old church had been converted into a mausoleum for the St. George family, according to Samuel Lewis. He located the family mansion in adjoining Stradbally, while noting that part of its demesne extended into Drumacoo. The account therefore distinguishes the burial place from the house and records an estate crossing the parish boundary. [2]
