  Very cool historical graveyard dating back to the 6th century. Interesting placards describing some of the features and gravestones throughout.

  This Historic Graveyard is the burial ground of Henry Grattan JR MP who fought with Daniel O Connell and the burial ground of William Conolly who built Castletown, and also the Donagn Family . Thomas Dongan became the first governor general of New York City. The graveyard has been recently restored and is well worth a visit, with several story boards on site to tell its story going back to the 6th century.

  The graveyard stands on an ancient path that linked Dublin Bay to Galway Bay, known as the Slí Mhór, one of Ireland‘s ancient five roads. The site was an early medieval monastery dedicated to St Mochua, the first abbot of Clondalkin. The curving street-pattern around the churchyard in Celbridge follows the line of the enclosure of this early ecclesiastical settlement. St Mochua established a church at Tea Lane. His pilgrim path along the Slí Mhór can be traced from Rathcoffey through Ladychapel and Tea Lane Graveyard to the Round Tower in Clondalkin.
