Description
Rolestown Graveyard, located about 7 km northwest of Swords, surrounds the ruins of an ancient church. The earliest recorded headstone dates back to December 8, 1717. The graveyard is the final resting place of several individuals involved in the 1916 Battle of Ashbourne, including John Crenigan and members of the Lawless family, as well as some World War I casualties. A headstone dedicated to Francis P. Murphy, who passed away in 1912, was erected by the North Dublin Executive of the United Irish League.
