Located within Rathmoyle cemetery, the Irwin mortuary chapel was built in memory of Mary Irwin by her husband and children. Though small in scale, the chapel has an attractive form and is notable amongst the grave markers in the cemetery. The obelisk and carved stone cross to the rear of the chapel are interesting features while the surrounding cemetery enhances the setting of the diminutive chapel.
