errew graveyard

St Patrick is said to have passed through this region. While there he baptized followers at St. Patrick’s Holy Well in Aughawillan and before leaving the region he blessed the ancient graveyard of Errew. The 16 th century graveyard is situated about 3kms south east of Carrigallen just off the main Carrigallen-Arva road –R203. After leaving Carrigallen take the first right turn and then continue straight after going around a sharp left turn. It overlooks beautiful Gulladoo Lake and is right in the centre of a circular enclosure, which can still clearly be seen.
