Vault

Situated on a shelf on a NW-facing slope. There is one central vault in the burial ground (RO035-049001-) which is reduced to foundations with an entrance (Wth 0.7m) at W between two jamb stones. According to a plaque, now preserved at the Roman Catholic church in Newbridge, Co. Galway (GA046-071----) and thought to refer to this monument, the burial ground and vault were established by Bryan Fallon in 1752. It is thought that the family moved to Co. Galway in 1815 and took this plaque with them. The inscription reads in part: ‘Pray for the Soul of Bryan Fallon Esq. who caused this Church yard and Vault to be inclosed and built Anno Domini 1752.’ Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 31 October 2018
