The precise location of a 17th century headstone Garristown graveyard (DU003-011003-) has not been located. Headstone was recorded by the Fingal Historic Graveyards Project, which stated that 'The earliest visible stone dates to the early 17th century and was excavated during the digging of new plots in the graveyard. It is inscribed as follows "Here lieth the body of Catrine Russel who died the 12th of May 1637 aged 65 years' (Fingal Historic Graveyards Project, Vol. 2, Garristown Graveyard).
