hi folks, can i just mention that the land you speak of is private property.


here are some tips and information, as i know this land like the back of my hand.

if you go out the mornington road, about 200-300 m past flogas on the right, there is a gate, and old laneway up to the grave yard, its well overgrown now but if you look closely on google maps and zoom in, you will see what i mean, this leads up to the graveyard, however its so overgrown now that you cannot go up that way.

it is a spooky place, years ago spent lots of time up that way as a kid exploring, its a perfect set for a horror movie.. with lobsided tombstones, really old headstones.

there was an old orchard beside it, with high walls around it, too...

some other info : Stagreenan - James Garry, 'Inscriptions on Stones in Stagrennan Graveyard' in Journal of the Old Drogheda Society 1977

STAGRENNAN Cemetery would have a lot of history attacked to it. A lot of it has become blurred with the passage of time. It has been closed for some time.

Seemingly the last burial in Stagreenan cemetery was in 1959. Now, if there is anyone out there who may have relevant information about the cemetery, please phone the above number or contact the DI. It is a shame that this cemetery has slipped off the radar. Surely it is entitled to have its graves blessed the same as any other Catholic cemetery.



if you have any Q's gimme a shout..
