Donaghcloney Old Graveyard

This old graveyard is situated on a mound above the River Lagan.  It's clear to see that the site was once a reasonably large ring fort, well sited just above the river.  The previously circular site was altered by the building of the road.  The oldest known gravestone dated from 1707, but many of the oldest stones are sadly no longer obvious or legible.  The following inscriptions are or were on headstones in the graveyard.  Photos of headstones follow beneath.
