If cemeteries are your thing then cast a cold eye on this one - located on top of a granite block situated on the North-West corner of the gate lodge of Goldenbridge Cemetery at Inchicore in Dublin - and pass by through the archway and into the burial ground. It's well worth a look. According to the Glasnevin Trust website “Inspired by the Cemetery of Pere Lachaise in Paris and founded by the Dublin Cemeteries Board, it comprises 2 acres of beautiful grounds including a classic temple and an adjoining canal. This distinctive cemetery has a host of different memorials” with the first burial taking place in 1828.
The classic temple is currently being restored and Benchmarker plans to return to view the finished result.
Above: The mark is located on top of the granite block at the left corner of the house. The cemetery is through the archway.
