Kilcluney (Kilbracks) old graveyard is 1 mile south of Markethill, within the graveyard a elongated mound that seems to indicate the site of the original church, we do not know the date in which the church was constructed but it was burned to the ground with the congregation inside during the rebellion of 1641, after the burning the rest of the congregation joined with Mullabrack parish, the union between Mullabrack and Kilcluney parishes lasted untill 1792 when Lord Viscount Gosford granted an acre of land to the congregation for the present church, it was built in 1794 and the church and graveyard are 1 and a half miles away from the old graveyard in the townland of Glassdrummond, the old graveyard is now looked after by Armagh Council.
