Headstone locations

Rathreagh graveyard and church ruins are situated 5 miles south-south-east of Ballycastle in a remote area of Rathreagh (townland), Rathreagh parish, and less than a mile from Kincon church in Kilfian.  Many of the headstones and tombstones are too weathered to be read and many graves do not have headstones.
