Derver Graveyard
Virginia, County Cavan, Ireland

Contributed by Anna Ryan, May 12, 2005 [annaryan001@hotmail.com]. Total records = 38.

From Virginia take the Virginia to Kells road and at the crossroads for Mullagh-Oldcastle, take the left turn for Oldcastle. Take the next left turn and the graveyard is situated at the end of this narrow road. It is not signposted or named.

This is an old graveyard where most of the stones are worn and hard to read. It may have been the graveyard which was used before Meaghera was opened. It is in the Parish of Lurgan.

This is a list of all readable headstones, which I read on May 10, 2005.
