St. Fintan's Cemetery, Sutton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Fintan's Cemetery is located in Sutton, on the south side of Carrickbrack Road. It is in two parts: one older, with a ruined keeper's cottage and the remnants of old St. Fintan's Church; one newer, and actively used, lower down the hill. Just beyond the older portion is the still-flowing, still-visited St. Fintan's Holy Well.
