Location:                 2 miles north-west of Ballycastle, Co. Mayo
GPS reference:        54.17.887N, 009.24.261W, Elev.130ft
No. of headstones:   200+ (only a fraction of graves have headstones)
Date range:              1817 to 2006 (observed)
Recorded:                all legible headstones photographed June 2008

Many of the graves in Doonfeeny graveyard were never marked with headstones because the familes were too poor, and some of the older headstones are too weathered to be read clearly, if at all.  This graveyard is now full and closed to new graves.  The suffix "DFO" indicates that the grave is in the oldest part of Doonfeeny graveyard on the west side of the road by the ancient church ruins.  The majority of headstones are in the adjacent newer part of the graveyard (suffix: "DF") on the east side of the road.
