I Found These Old Burial Vaults At Molougha Graveyard. Looks Like An Old Village. Vaults From The 1800'S And One That Was Opened. #vault #coffin #crypt
Love"Grave Visitations" unfortunately I am not a contributor as I am old as dirt and shy on funds. However I really do appreciate those who make this channel possible. Again thanks for all your hard work there are probably a lot of folks like me!
I am wondering what causes the coffins in old vaults to get broken and the remains to get scattered. I have concluded that rats might enter via cracks in the stonework and cause the damage. It is a terrible thought, but I do not know how else it could be exp!ained. Excellent video and beautiful Irish scenery near the graveyard.
Hi John, natural decay and damp weather in Ireland plays a big factor in these coffins ending up like that. Looked like a few coffins in that vault so I'm presuming the one in the corner disintegrated were it stood hence the bones.
Turf was a very old tradition way of roofing or may have initially been peat blocks laid on slate slabs. I expect the roof of the vaults were arched to help deflect the moisture. A most amazing and unusual cemetery 👍 I hope everyone had a peaceful Easter 👍
Village of the dead, is a most appropriate term, the construction of the vaults makes one think of a Village. Beautiful cemetery, surrounded by beautiful countryside. ( I hope the calf was ok.) It looked like the roof of one vault completely collapsed. Thank you very much GV and Sue, for a great video. Take care.
Very beautiful cemetery Cathal! Loved all the grass covered masoleums. So simple, yet so meaningful with people still being buried there. God, I love Ireland like no other place on earth. I will be back in May of 2024.
What a beautiful graveyard. Looking out over the land is breathtaking. Thank you for your wonderful journey visiting all these beautiful places. It's so nice to hear their history of these places and to think what it was back them. Again Thank you from the USA.
This has to be one of the most beautiful grave yards I have ever seen especially the house styled vaults. It gives you the idea that the people have all congregate around a table like they would have when they were at their home.
Beautiful and so unusual Cathal! That was a real treat to be taken with you to visit such an unusual place! How far away is the nearest church? There seem to be quite a number of graves but not a huge variety of different names…nobody else has commented anything about the McQuin or whatever it was. I do hope parishioners come and repair the roofs of those two that had lost the slate and grass holding it together…lits too special and important to be left to rot and ruin. Maybe there is a government restoration grant towards it? Well I thoroughly enjoyed somewhere completely different! Thankyou both so much. Do hope you found a farmer to Come and rescue that little calf…if he’d had no milk for a while he’d be feeling rather weak, poor little thing. Didn’t see any other cattle nearby…..a GV mystery! Starring Cathal Sherlock Holmes with his trusty support! Serenity Sue Watson! Lol…..you need the big magnifying glass and the deerstalker hat to look the part GV! Thanks again! Love and Light, Helen in Norfolk, U.K. 🙋♀️🥰🥰💕💐🙏🦋🦋😻👏🏻😻💐😻😻xxxxxx
The town where I live, after 7 pm ,is also called the " Village of the Dead "!😅 The peaked roofs with grass or moss on them are so cool! Hope the calf got home safe. Nicely done GV. 😊👍
What a beautiful video and cemetary in the midst all by itself. The fields of beautiful green grass only Ireland has. Thanx for your time and doing this for all of us.❤😊❤😊
Hello GV I'm new(ish) to your channel. I only discovered you about a week ago and am loving the videos I've seen so far. I find the older graves, mausoleums and vaults so fascinating and am blown away at how a lot of them are still standing. They might have a few dinks and bricks missing, but considering their age, they're amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these video's and am hoping to see more from you as the weeks go along. Many regards ~ Cobs. (from Dorset in the south of England, GB)
beautiful countryside loved this cemetery the crypts look so unique with the grass on its roofs , hope the little calf was OK. this was as amazing place GV thanks for the tour ❤
What a nice quiet place. Just before you went in grave yard, I never would have thought those structures were part of a burial site! Great video, thanks for sharing these places with us! 👍👍 Watching from south western Nova Scotia, Canada, eh. 😉 Pete

Hello Cathal and Sue, another very interesting video. I have never seen one like that before. I hope the Calf was ok and remember I truly appreciate everything you both do and I will try to donate something to your channel as soon as I can.

Greetings from the coast of Georgia. I live near the largest Army base on the east coast...Ft Stewart, home of the 3rd Infantry Division. Currently most of our soldiers are stationed in Poland in support of Ukraine. I started loving history of ancient peoples while in high school. I visited almost every olde graveyard in my area. I still have one more to explore as it is one of the oldest in Savannah. Thank you for all your videos.
Those particular Mulqueens are from two distinct families: Sinon Mulqueen who married Mary Gorman, and another Sinon Mulqueen who married a Miss Browne and had a son, also named Sinon. Then that same Sinon Sr remarried to a Margaret McDonald and had 2 sons, Matthew and Michael. Some of each of those children emigrated to Manhattan, New York (hence the statue of liberty). The brown flat part of the field that can be seen behind the graveyard is Senan"s Lough, where you will find St. Senan's Holy Well. In this part of County Clare, you will see many Senans, Sinons, Seanans. The church in both Kilrush and in Knockerra are both called St Senan's. Within eyesight of this graveyard, the original Saint Senan was born. Amazing video!
Fantastic n quaint cemetery, Thank you from Plymouth UK.. Did you get to see the farmer about the calf, I think it was probably left behind when they went to new graze field, Poor thing
I will have to say that whom ever started building the tombs with the grass on the rooftops Knew what they were doing!! Amazing!! Well done as usual!! ❤🪦❤️
@@GraveVisitations hi It's somewhere in Northern Ireland. I was just asking as my Grandmother was born there and lived there with her family in the 1800s. Thanks.
