Friar's_Bush_Headstones_200903102003.jpg
Headstones. Taken March 2009. Friar's Bush Cemetery is Belfast's oldest Christian site. Some historians believe it may have been used in pre-Christian times and also that it is linked with St Patrick who died circa 490 AD. In the late 18th century it was widely recognised as a Roman Catholic burial ground. In a major cholera outbreak in 1832-1833 it was used for the mass burial of victims. A low mound near the cemetery entrance is still referred to as Plaguey Hill. 200903102003.
