Notes
This page was compiled with the help of both Jim and the Donegal County Library, Letterkenny
The following inscriptions are a combination of a survey of the graveyard undertaken by the Ramelton Community Heritage Project in 1987 and Jim in 2009
The Project group also produced an outline plan of the graveyard, showing the location of the graves they surveyed - view Graveyard Plan (soon)
Also, there are more inscriptions which will be added, as soon as my hand recovers from a burn............
History
The Tullyaughnish Graveyard and Church ruin (Ordnance Survey ref no 05 46:5:1) are situated on Ramelton's Church Street, to the South of the town. The Graveyard surrounds the Church ruins and is well kept, although some of the headstones have been affected by the harsh elements of the weather. The oldest stones are nearly 300 years old; the earliest is dated 1712. The headstones vary in type and condition. The most common types are white marble, grey sandstone, blue schist, granite and dolerite.
In 1610, Sir William Stewart was granted 1,000 acres of land in Donegal and this included the area around Ramelton. By the time of Pynnar's survey in 1616, he had built a bawn, a thatched house and had almost completed work on the Church of Tullyaughnish. This Church continued in use until 1826. The ivy-clad ruin measures 7.2m by 22.4m internally; the gables all stand to their original height and are surrounded by massive buttrisses. The most interesting feature is the well-preserved window of four lights with rather jumbled mullions. The confused and debased appearance of this window is caused by the inclusion, upside-down, of a tracery dagger from an early medieval Chruch. Above the window, set into the gable, is a decorated 12th century stone taken from the Romanesque Church of St Columba on Aughnish Island. Carved on this stone is a stylised tree flanked by two lion-like creatures. It is decorated with bead moulding. This design is believed to represent the coat of arms of the Abbot of Aughnish.

Although this is a Church of Ireland Graveyard, down through the years Presbyterians have been buried here
The graveyard is still in use.
