- There are four graveyards in the parish of Ballintemple. Two are in Ballintemple and one in Potahee and another at Ballinagh.
Ballintemple graveyards are separated by the public road, The old graveyard is on the left side going up, and the new one on the right side.
Both graveyards are square. The one though quite level because of slopes in no direction. Both graveyards are surrounded by a high wall. There are no trees in the old graveyard except a few palms. In the new graveyards there are lots of palms and very large trees in these trees the crows have their rookery. In the old graveyard there is a flag stone over the grave of Viscount Fleming who built Fleming Folly. The writing on this slab is closed in .
On the edge of this slab is written. "Died 25th of October 1795". On the head of this slab there is a shield with a dragon and a man on it. On each side of the shield there is a battle axe, on the slab there is ornamental carving.
