History
The graveyard is mentioned in Brendan Behan's autobiography Borstal Boy (1958) - "So many belonging to me lay buried in Kilbarrack, the healthiest graveyard in Ireland they said, because it was so close to the sea".[1] His novel 'Richard's Cork Leg' is set in the cemetery.
There is a church known as Saint Fintan's Church, which in part is dated to the 9th century.[2]
There is a cenotaph dedicated to executed IRA member Frank Flood which was erected by his parents.[3]
