Description
Burial ground with twelve interments from c. 1880 to present day. Carved limestone grave markers, some in the form of Celtic revival high crosses, and some with wrought-iron railings.
Appraisal
This burial ground forms part of an interesting group of related religious structures with the church, former presbytery and presbyteries to the south. The carved limestone grave markers were clearly executed by skilled craftsmen and add artistic interest to the site. The high crosses are interesting reminders of the Celtic revival which arose in Ireland in the late nineteenth century.
