ardstraw graveyard

This area is rich in sites that stretch much further back into history, back to the beginnings of Christianity in Ireland, and back still further to the time of the Celts. Ardstraw Graveyard is all that remains of the church founded by St Eoghan in the 6th Century which remained the seat of the local bishop until the 12th century, when it came under the power of the bishop of Derry.
