Appraisal
A simple and tranquil private cemetery associated with the Loreto Convent (15310142). This graveyard is a reminder of the Loreto Sisters/Nuns and their contribution to the education and social history of Mullingar since c.1881. The simple cast-iron markers identify the artistic design value of the site. The simple wrought-iron railings complete the setting.
