Great job on listing the details of the graveyard plots.
Have visited but failed to locate the family grave. I can now return thanks to your efforts and find my great-grandparents final resting place.
Many thanks.
I have been told that my 2nd great grandparents Owen Tiernan(1814-1888) and Ellen Fitzpatrick (Abt. 1826-1906) of Drumnamore are buried “close to one of the outer walls” but the headstone apparently is long gone. Would you have any suggestions on how I might locate it? I am planning to visit in September this year!

do you have any records of any Kilkennys buried here?

Hi Kathy – we have all graves listed at https://www.fenagh.com/graveyards/old-fenagh-abbey-graveyard/ and a map here https://www.fenagh.com/graveyards/old-fenagh-abbey-graveyard-map-and-grave-numbers/ – there are many graves like yours with no inscription or unmarked which makes it very difficult to pinpoint exact locations- all I can suggest is you take a walk around the graves and outer wall location when you come visit in September.
Kind regards
