Killeen Cemetery

Killeen Cemetery, Newport, County Mayo, Ireland          

Killeen Cemetery is located along the north shore of Clew Bay west of Newport between Rockfleet and Roskeen just north of Raigh (see map).  There is a monument there honoring St. Brendan's well.  I visited the cemetery in July of 2004 and videotaped headstones as I walked among the graves (in between rain showers), then transcribed these after returning home.  I have video captures (sorry, they are not the greatest quality) of all the graves with numbers; click on the number to see a picture of the headstone.  Those marked with a MOTD were taken from a CD called "Memorials of the Dead" and are included with my transcriptions.

Killeen Cemetery is divided into two sections.  Between rain showers and sunshine, sometimes both at the same time, I recorded most of the headstones in the "newer" section of the cemetery.  The old section used to be badly overgrown but has been cleaned up recently and is now accessible.  I tried to video and transcribe most of the monuments and headstones although I know I missed some and others were weather beaten and nearly impossible to read.  There are several flat stones measuring 3ft by 5ft that date back to the 1700's (#'s 44,45, 49-53) that were exciting.    Per Brendan McLoughlin, the headstone of my gg-grandparents, Patrick McLoughlin and Mary Moran, was the first monument erected in this cemetery.
