History

About this graveyard

Dromineer lies on Lough Derg, a few miles north-west of Nenagh. Its old graveyard holds some of the earliest stones in the archive — among them Mary Slattery, wife of Roger Dunn, who died in 1767, and Penelope Cleary, 1789 — together with many generations of the Slattery family of Knigh and the surrounding townlands. Recorded for the Ormond Historical Society's survey of the Barony of Lower Ormond by Denise Foulkes. (Graveyard location is approximate and may be refined.)
