From where you are standing, 3 things to find
- 01The belfry of the ruined church — it is still standing.
- 02Celtic Revival high crosses among the nineteenth- and twentieth-century grave markers.
- 03The mausoleum of Peter Kelly.
A Roman Catholic graveyard established in 1798, later extended westward, with the ruin of the former church inside it.
The appraisal, verbatim: The distinctive mausoleum of Peter Kelly and the remains of the renowned O' Connor Dons, descendants of the last High Kings of Ireland, add a historical dimension to the graveyard.
The record · ark:/99999/cbstj
- Surveyed date range 1795–1800.
- Esther Cooke, a schoolgirl in Castlerea, wrote in 1938:
The O'Connor Donns have a lot in it and some of them are buried there. Recently the Kellys of the Square built a vault there.
The State inventory records the same two things, from the other direction and sixty years later.
