Roseabby McGorry & Lloyd Forde
Drumgoon Hill Graveyard Maintainence and Support Committee

Restoration, Recording and Public Presentation of Drumgoon Hill Old Graveyard, Cootehill, Co.Cavan

Concern for the degradation of the Drumgoon Hill Old Graveyard led to the establishment of a community based volunteer group in 2016. Situated on one of Cavan’s tallest hill’s, the group’s aim was in clearing the overgrowth, preserving remains and uncovering the history associated with this three-acre site. The site itself belongs to Cavan County Council who, together with the Heritage Council, provided funding for a community-focussed heritage project involving survey work on the graveyard. Training was provided enabling the community to carry out field survey work of the graveyard and the recording of their oral history. The funding provided also enabled the group to procure the assistance of archaeological geophysicist Kevin Barton of Landscape and Geophysical Services to oversee the project.
