Drumgoon Hill Old Graveyard

Drumgoon Hill Old Graveyard is an ancient burial site and church from before 650A.D, which was established on an even older ringfort and residence of a prominent chieftain. This church & burial ground is said to be started by St. Patrick himself, and is located only 4.5 kilometres south east of Cootehill.

'Reeling in the Years' collated research to produce a video which provides a valuable community asset in the form of an an educational legacy  for  future generations, integrating arts, culture, and heritage. 

This video will showcases Drumgoon Hill Old Graveyard in its historic setting and includes work by volunteers from all ages including art pieces from local artists and school children, making it suitable and accessible for everyone.

It should be noted that farmers allowed access to the Drumgoon Graveyard restoration committee onto their lands to record archaeological artifacts which are not available to public viewing.
This project is funded by Creative Ireland and Cavan County Council through Creative Cavan.
