The situation of this graveyard and church group, on a small hill overlooking the Griffeen Bridge park, lends it a powerful presence and a striking profile when viewed from below. The graveyard contains a variety of finely carved headstones. Set alongside modern houses, the site is a welcome historical element in the vicinity.
