The Abbeyfeale Graveyard remained the only burial ground until St. Mary's Cemetery was built across the square in 1904. In 1968 St. Mary's church was demolished and is now the site of the St. Mary's Boy's National School,behind which is St. Mary's Cemetery. The perimeter walls around the graveyard are the original walls, inside of which the abbey and chapel once stood. A portion of a wall of the chapel, about 16 feet long by 4 feet high, remains inside the cemetery today. The cross that appears above the front entrance (at the right) was also part of the RC Chapel that was torn down in 1846.
