| Description: | South Dublin Village Walks - Saggart Stop 4: Saggart Graveyard. The graveyard predates the current church, and is located on the site of previous church buildings, possibly the monastery of St Mosacra. The first edition Ordnance Survey map from 1843 shows the graveyard to be oval in shape, with access provided by a lane leading directly from the village; prior to this, the area is recorded by mapmakers as the site of a ruined church. Within the graveyard, there is a noteworthy memorial to Dublin merchant Edward Byrne, who was a member of the Catholic Committee, a group that included Wolfe Tone, which petitioned King George II in 1793 on behalf of the Irish people. |
