This is the second of 6 MAGNER burial plots ( Nos. 45 to 50 ). In the Tithe Applotments of 1826 Patrick Magner is listed for the townland of Gurrane which is about 2 miles East of the graveyard. Later on there were a number of branches of the family in OVENS and BISHOPSTOWN. There is an excellent account of the Bishopstown branch of the family in Richard Henchions book " Bishopstown, Wilton and Glasheen".
