What is recorded here
Enclosing wall and gates of Bohermore Cemetery, erected c.1860. Coursed rock-faced limestone enclosing walls with coping. Tooled square-profile limestone gate piers having pyramidal capping stones with cross finials, moulding copings and bases over rock-faced plinth. Wrought-iron double-leaf gates to vehicular entrance and single-leaf gate to pedestrian entrance.
The historic Bohermore Cemetery is the resting place of many famous individuals, including the nationally-renowned writers, Pádraic Ó Conaire, Lady Gregory and Walter Macken, as well as the notorious wartime propagandist Lord Haw-Haw. The enclosing walls and gates are fine displays of the crafts of stoneworking and metalworking.
