Situated on a slight S and W-facing slope. The Secession Presbyterian Church had two congregations in Co. Cavan by 1770, at an unknown location in Corraneary and at Urcher. The Urcher meeting house (CV034-052001-) is within a subrectangular burial ground (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 20m E-W at N to c. 45m E-W at S) defined by earthen banks with hedges and has a fine wrought iron entrance gate at the S end of the E side where there is a public road. The headstones date from c. 1830-2015, and amongst them is the horizontal memorial to the congregation’s second minister, Rev. Francis Carlile who died in 1811. His widow, Anne Jane Carlile, long outlived him, dying in 1864, and is buried in Mount Jerome Cemetery in Dublin. She had a remarkable career as a philanthropist and was actively involved in the temperance movement.
