Graveyard Survey

Fenagh Development are doing a survey of the graveyards in the parish. We are looking for volunteers to help upgrade the survey done in 2011.  This involves noting the inscriptions on the gravestones in The Abbey Graveyard, St Catherine’s Church of Ireland graveyard and the new graveyard and also taking photos of the gravestone with your phone. You can go out whenever or for as long as you want and it is a great way to get out and about when the evenings get longer. If interested, call or message us on 087 2487206 or call the visitor centre on 71 9645590.
