The Ancient Parish Church of St. Catherine, on the west side of Killybegs Harbour, dates back probably to the 12th century. It was commandeered ("sequestered") by the planters around 1610. The Protestants added to the structure and used the burial ground until as late as 1902, although they built a cemetery at their new church, St. John's, in 1829. 1 The ancient church is in ruins now. A visit to the site is a somewhat mystical experience. Unfortunately the burial ground is badly overgrown, the broken stones covered with moss and lichens.
