Quakers Burial Ground

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. The Society of Friends (Quakers) had a meeting house in Ballyinclay since 1743 on a site close to Ballinclay House that had been provided by John Wright. A new meeting house further from Ballinclay house was established in 1778 together with the present burial ground that was used by the community until c. 1830, and occasionally since then. The burial ground is a rectangular area (dims 37m NE-SW; 22m NW-SE) defined by a masonry wall. There is an arched gateway on the SE side, and the neat headstones face SE.
