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.

The ancient Church of Delgany was dedicated to Saint Chuarog, who was of Royal Welsh descent and who apparently gave the last rites to Saint Kevin of Glendalough when he died in A.D. 618. There are no obvious vestiges of a Church from that time. Amongst the many interesting 18th and 19th century headstones are the foundations of a later church that survives in the graveyard. This was most likely built in the 13th century. Also in the graveyard near the entrance is a large granite font. Perhaps the most important feature in the graveyard is the shaft of a monumental high cross. Unfortunately the head is missing but the surviving granite shaft preserves the following inscription; OR DO...CUS DO ODRAN SAIR "a prayer for... and for Odran the wright". The inscription asks for a prayer for two people - the first name is illegible but the second name is Odran the wright, who may have
commissioned the erection of the cross or the building of a church at this site.
