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.

Graveyard at the summit of the Kilronan Mountain close to a disused mine. Conifers growing around

In 1847 a total of nine people were buried here in a mass grave because the people were too weak to continue their journey to Kilronan graveyard. A flagstone now marks the grave along with a simple altar where mass is said each year for victims of famine.
