    Old Church and Bluebell. There are trees growing round every one of them.
    Clondalkin is a very old graveyard. There are very old headstones, slabs and iron crosses from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. There are two priests buried in the Churchyard - Rev. Chris. Coleman and Rev. Barnaby Mullen. Long ago Clondalkin Graveyard was open to everyone. Twenty five years ago it was closed except to some old families who have claims to it such as Melias and Gogartys etc.
