Each of the five Church of Ireland churches within Carrigallen and Drumreilly civil parishes has a graveyard attached -
1. Drumreilly Church of Ireland which overlooks Garadice Lough was built in 1737 by William Gore Esq. of Woodford Estate. The church retains carved stone masks reused from an earlier structure and the surrounding graveyard historically contained burials of both catholic and protestant faiths. It is listed as ref LE025-058 in the Irish national monument archaeological survey.
2. Newtowngore St Patrick's Church of Ireland was built in 1850 but the surrounding graveyard contains grave makers that predate that church, as this was the site of the pre-reformation Moyagh parish church. It is listed as ref LE026-016 in the Irish national monument archaeological survey.
3. Killegar Church of Ireland was built in 1817 by John Godley of Killegar Demesne. The surrounding graveyard contains a variety of grave makers dating from that time to present.
4. Carrigallen Church of Ireland was built in 1814 upon the still visible ruins of the fifteenth-century pre-reformation parish church. The surrounding graveyard thus contains grave markers that predate the current church. It is listed as ref LE030-034 in the Irish national monument archaeological survey.
5. Corrawallen St Columba's Church of Ireland was built in 1854 and the surrounding graveyard contains grave makers dating from that time to present.
