What is recorded here
Freestanding four-sided pyramidal mausoleum, c.1830. Ashlar limestone walls with cast-iron door to north-west. Set on a height overlooking Saint Finnian’s Church of Ireland Church. Cast-iron gates and railings bound it to graveyard.
The pyramidal form of this mausoleum adds an interesting dimension to the setting of Kinnitty's Church of Ireland church. Its stonework, executed in fine ashlar, is of a high quality with each stone fitting together perfectly. The cast-iron railings complete this site, which is reputed to have been built by a member of the Bernard family following a visit to Egypt. It is similar in style and execution to the three-sided Swifte mausoleum located at Castlerickard Graveyard near Longwood, Co. Meath.
