No specific area at ‘Ross Abbey’ (GA041-047----) is designated as a graveyard but numerous burials occur throughout various sectors of the friary, particularly in the nave and chancel of the church and the S transepts. Most of these date to the 19th and 20th centuries and include a variety of vaults, inscribed headstones, graveslabs and wall monuments. However, a number features dating to the 18th century were recorded; see GA041-047006-, GA041-047007-, GA041-047008-, GA041-047009- and GA041-047012-.
