About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

This is a beautiful, peaceful little walled graveyard on the shores of Sheephaven Bay. It is located on the right hand side of the car park at the famous Doe Castle, which was the home of the Chieftans of Tir Conaill, the Mac Sweeney clan. The headstones there date back to the early 19th century although there are many unmarked graves dating back to the 17th century including some of the Mac Sweeney clan themselves. The carved stone which marked the Mc Sweeney graves was built into the wall of the graveyard but was vandalised and subsequently replaced with a replica which is now behind a wire frame for protection. Some surnames from the graveyard are Moore, Wilkinson, Mc Elhinney, Kearney and Speer.
