Description
Situated on the W-facing slope of a drumlin. A small triangular area (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 50m N-S at E) with the apex at W between the main road from Monaghan to Castleshane (N2) and a minor road off it to the NE is described in italic lettering as a ‘Grave Yard’ only on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The area to the E became the location where St Macarthan’s Roman Catholic Cathedral was built in 1861-92 under Bishops Mac Nally and James Donnelly to a design of James Joseph McCarthy in the gothic revival style (McKenna 1920, 1, 110-17). No visible evidence of the graveyard survives. It may have been attached to the Roman Catholic chapel of Latlorcan which was c. 450m to the SE, although no reference is made to it (Moriarty 2012).
