        go into the village of ballymore you will see the church on your left hand side take the left turn after the church which will bring you to the square turn left again .you will see the school on the right and turn left there. that is the coughlanstown road. drive out that road for about 3 miles and  you will see a bungloe with manicured hedges on the left hand side on a bad bend .about 500 yards after the bend you will see a gate on the left stop there and walk across the field to the graveyard

Does anyone know any more about this graveyard? I'm trying to figure out where my RC Ballymore ancestors would have been buried in mid-1800s, would it be Coughlanstown?

Thanks for the link. I've seen those before, but of the three Ballymore listings one is Church of Ireland, one is St Mary's Catholic church with just three priests' burials, and St Mary's catholic cemetery was built in the 1960s. I'm looking for Catholic burials from earlier than that, so I'm trying to figure out if Coughlanstown is the only way to go in Ballymore or if there may be others...
Best wishes
