Appraisal
A picturesque graveyard forming an appealing landmark in the centre of An Rinn [Ringville]. The various markers to the burial plots enhance the artistic design distinction of the site, representing high quality craftsmanship, while some models represent good examples of early-surviving iron work. The remains of a church on site are of interest as evidence of the once-prosperous Church of Ireland community in the locality.
