Achill Colony Cemetery Headstones
The Colony cemetery in Dugort was part of the Achill Mission (also known as the "Colony") that was set up by Rev. Edward Nangle in 1831 as a protestant proselytising mission.  The Colony included schools, cottages, hospital, orphanage, and a guest house.  It was very successful for a while, but eventually closed in the 1880's, after Rev Nangle had been moved from Achill.

This small cemetery is about a quarter mile west of St Thomas' Church, but it is hidden by trees.  It is marked only with the sign "Sean Reilig" meaning Old Cemetery.  Only two of the old headstones were legible.  One of the graves is that of coastguard officer Francis Reynolds who died in 1838 during the violent conflicts between the Catholic clergy and the Mission staff.
