Fermanagh - Round Tower Cemetery Inscriptions *********************************************** Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Fermanagh Index Copyright ************************************************ File contributed by: Dr. Patrick Mulligan and Theo McMahon ROUND TOWER CEMETERY INSCRIPTIONS extracted from the Clogher Record, 1984 cut off date for records is 1900. In this issue of Clogher Record we present the headstone inscriptions from Clones (The Round Tower and Abbey Cemetery s), Co. Monaghan and St. Tierney's R.C. Cemetery , Roslea, Co. Fermanagh. The parish of Roslea was cut-off from the medieval parish of Clones, shortly before 1800 (see CR, 1983, p.227). It was around this time that the Cemetery was opened in Roslea and began to be used by families who had previously buried their dead at Clones. Much has been written about the antiquities of the Clones Cemetery s but this is the first time that the inscriptions have been fully recorded.
