Springfield graveyard is located in Springfield townland. The oldest headstone that we came across here was in memory of David Neal who died on December 29th, 1715. Marker stones can be found throughout the graveyard. One gable end of Springfield church ruin remains standing in this graveyard.

Although it is now situated in the Diocese of Cloyne, Tullylease was once part of the parish of Dromcollogher/Broadford. A graveyard surrounds the church ruin.
