About Killeshandra Old Graveyard

There has been a church and a cemetery on this site in Church Street since possibly the 12th century. Originally the site of a Catholic Church, it became Crown property and was handed over to Protestant worship. The church, whose ruins are still on the site, was built in 1688. As a result of its history the cemetery was mixed, shared by both Catholics and Protestants.
