It is situated along the road leading from Cavan to Belturbet. Entering the graveyard there are steps and a gate at the top of them. A high stone wall is built between the road and the graveyard. It is square in shape. There are protestants and Catholics buried in it. The ruins of an old church is in it, and an old vault. The graveyard will soon not be able to hold any more coffins, and it will have to be closed. Over every grave there is either a head stone or a wreath of flowers. The wall around the grave yard was repaired a short time ago, about the year 1928. There are trees growing around the graveyard, and some growing in it. There are crossed in it made of wood, but there are none made of iron. The old walls of the chapel are grown up with ivy and grass. There are people buried inside the old walls. The vault belonged to the Rodgers of Belturbet.
