What is recorded here

Enclosed Roman Catholic Convent graveyard, established c.1920, with random stone walls to east and wrought-iron railings to other sides. Attached to adjacent former convent. Cast-iron grave markers and four graves, three of which are Celtic crosses, to north, containing graves of Church of Ireland Rectors. Cast-iron gates with foundry mark to school yard.
This graveyard, which has been continually used since the 1920s, is part of the religious history of Strokestown. Its distinctive and technically-significant grave markers, all finely executed, set it apart from secular graveyards in Co. Roscommon. Though this is a convent graveyard, Rectors of the Church of Ireland Church are buried here, which in itself is unusual and worthy of note.
