Rosahane Graveyard, County Wicklow, Ireland Ireland Genealogy Projects Archives Wicklow Index Copyright File contributed by: Eadaoin Breslin etainbreslin@yahoo.co.uk Photos --------------------------------------------- ROSAHANE GRAVEYARD, COUNTY WICKLOW, IRELAND Graveyard - photos taken photos taken 2009 and 2014/2015. Rosahane lies on a back-road between Aughavannagh and Aughrim, Co Wicklow. Grid Ref: T 085 835 ... It's approached by a short track leading westwards from the road. It's surrounded by tall trees, and many of the graves are shaded at all times (for these I've transcribed the inscription using a torch). I've referred to Brian Cantwell's transcription occasionally as *BC. There isn't a church in this graveyard .. in the middle, a little to the left, there's a raised grassy area which could be the site of a church. The photos were taken roughly anti-clockwise around the cemetery, starting at the gate. Photo No.0 An overall view of the cemetery from the entrance .. you can see the raised area on the left Photo No.1 There are a few groups of stones like these in the cemetery - they may be very old graves.
