Dennis Cullen is recognised as one of Ireland’s finest folk sculptors. There are 105 known Cullen headstones, most dating from 1765 to 1785, many in Glendalough, and most depicting passion scenes. He was born in Monaseed and his carving technique was accomplished. He often signed his work, unusual for the day.
Cullen executed his work in delicate and accurate detail. Christ on the cross is flanked by the Virgin with a crown and beads and St John with a bible. Cullen’s habit was to carve figures in the costume of the 18th century. The Virgin’s flowing hair is, in fact, a long lace veil - common mourning dress of the time.
Several of the headstones feature a sunburst as well as sun, star and moon motifs. Powerful symbols of the soul and of immortality, as well as rebirth, these motifs were very popular in the eighteenth century. The IHS symbol (explained in Memento Mori) usually adorned the top of the headstone.
The symbols used were the hammer, pincers, three nails, crown of thorns, two dice, box for the dice, and 30 pieces of silver. Some also have a ladder, spear, the moon and sun, and four different trees to show the different timbers used in the Cross.
*The dice 4 plus 5 make 9 representing the fact that Jesus died on the 9th hour on the cross.

That was so interesting

What a beautiful and historic cemetery. All of these people had lives, families and stories to tell. Even in death their stories can still be told. Thanks Sue xxx
That's so very true and a beautiful comment ❤️
250 plus years of weather and pollution, but the carvings are crisp and clear! Wow! Need a part 2 or 3 now. Thanks for the tour Sue.
Thanks Hans, take a look at the preban graveyard really cool and a story of a family wiped out during a big snow storm
What a treasure for all of us that love these old resting places. My hands are twitching to get my supplies and head there to clean those amazing stones. I so appreciate you taking us there. I would love to personally love to thank all of those who spent the time to clean this cemetery.🥰
Thank you Janice, they are a hardworking bunch for sure ❤️
Another home run Sue! Keep those Irish smiling eyes! Peace Be Unto You & your family... Richard, Charlotte, North Carolina USA
I want to donate to your site, but I only have PAYPAL. Can you tell me how to do it?
Hi Richard that is so sweet, unfortunately my PayPal is not working and will not connect to my bank, the only way is through my gofund me page but for that you need a bank card, you are so sweet but it's not necessary ❤❤
Remarkable video, SUE. thanks for taking us along! Kentucky, USA, watching! 👍👍❤️
Thank you Diane ❤️
I am in Kentucky, as well. Greetings to you! Only recently found you and I thoroughly enjoy being invited along on your explorations. I love history and I love your brogue. I have some Irish ancestors just not sure how much. Are there any of the names of Case or Harrell? Anyway, thank you so very much for what you do, it's wonderful and I hope you will continue for a very long time. Take care and God bless! 🙂🌹🇺🇸
Hi, I don't remember either names to be honest x x thanks so much for watching
Amazing graveyard Sue.Someone has done a lot of work in there for sure.I think in some ways it’s preserved many of those headstones..I am amazed at how many younger people are buried in there.Perhaps a flu epidemic or something at the time..One thing for sure the new headstones we have now will not last this long, nor are they as beautifully carved as these ones either.Thanks for the sdventure today,it looked rather cold out there too.Love n Light 🥰
Absolutely agree there with you ❤
Sue, I truly loved this cemetery. So many old graves and so many tombstones you could still read. I think I could happily spends hours there! Thank you for showing it to us!
Thanks Ben, it sure was an amazing place to stand in and walk through history ❤❤
It is so good to see them taking care of this cemetery ! Beautiful! Thanks for the walk Sue!
Thanks Liz ❤️ 😊
Thanks very amazing work done on those headstones so many years ago. God bless all of them.
Thanks Sally ❤️
Hello Sue and Irish eyes what a great place and some old stones that still can be read hear in Midwest the stones from the 30s and older hard to read I think I saw this cemetery in a dream once cool
Oh wow Larry, this is a cool comment, this place is amazing ❤
A walk in the 1700's WOW!! Beautiful tombstones with hand carved writings.
Thank you and God bless.
Thank you, pretty amazing standing there, God Bless you ❤
Once again another great presentation by you both.Keep up the great work just sad the way some died ,still as you say they’ll not be forgotten
God bless regards from ballarat,Australia.👋👋👋👍
Thanks Peter this one was a great find ❤❤
Thank you so much Sue for a great walk among the tombstones. Very beautiful cemetery and your explanation was spot on as usual.🙏🏻🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
Ahh thanks Mike ❤❤
Amazing graveyard ..... so old so many souls ❤️
It's so beautiful, walking through history 😍
Wow! What a treasure trove of history and craftsmanship. The talent of these Mason's is to be commended. It would have taken an awful lot of hard work and days to clear this Graveyard, whoever organised goats and sheep had the best idea for clearing here. Sadly the ages on the headstones were mostly very young. Well done Sue and thank you, as usual you brave the wind and rugged grounds for us. I hope you are feeling well now. Blessings to you 💕🇦🇺
Getting better by the day Liz thank you, oh this place was a treasure trove of history ❤❤
I am always in awe at the carvings and how perfect and the love the hands had doing them thanx Sue. So wonderful to be able to take this walk with you as alwsys dear Sue. God bless❤😊
These are beautiful stones, it always amazes me to see such beautiful details
Hello Mc Curdy family from Isle of Bute from your Southern family of the United States of America 🇺🇸, we made it thanks to those so brave to find a new home!
Hi Sue*I enjoy watching your shows&also on 1600-1800's😊*thank you &see you again on your shows
You are so welcome
Thanks sue for taking us with you. Love to listen to your stories.
You're very welcome ❤❤
I just love the 1700 writing on the stones amazing
They are just outstanding ❤
Such a wonderful clean up job that was done. Very historical and grand headstones. Thank you, Sue, for doing such a great job with this one.
Thanks Betty, it must have been a huge effort made by all ❤❤
Whomever the artist was of those headstones really had a talent! I love seeing these relics from the 16th century. I can’t imagine what life was like back then. Amazing how the headstones have lasted this long. Some are 252 YEARS OLD!!! Wow.
These are james byrne and Dennis Cullen
Watching the video again. I just love ghd 1700's and especially when they csn be read. God bless the one or more who is keeping the graveyard cleared and the stonework,just magnificent.❤😊❤😊
Isn't it absolutely amazing, such detail
Oh how wonderful that you are allowing us to escape with you on these adventures to another place and time in history!! You are incredible!
The old tombstones leaning over and some covered with the evidence of the decades of time itself lends an air of mystery and curiosity we can only imagine. The cemeteries of today lack the atmosphere of those of long ago.
These are so beautiful, the amount of time it took to created these is unimaginable ❤
These stones are unbelievable. Works of art
That's so true, absolutely amazing
WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
Thanks John ❤️
It is so touching when someone cares to take care of the graves and stones😢❤️🙏
These are beautiful headstones, so happy they are clearing the area ❤️
Beautiful place seems peaceful. Those dates go way back amazing with the lovely designs and writing on the stones and done painstakingly by hand. Thank you Sue. I could listen to you read the headstones all day!
Thank you Jill ❤️
What a beautiful cemetery and the headstone designs are amazing. Also the inscriptions/epithets are beautiful. 🙏🙏🙏
And that the stones are still in good condition to be read! 🪦🪦
It's a beautiful cemetery ❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Again thank you Sue for sharing the rich history and to remember the many souls laid to rest. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Randy, I just love doing this ❤
What a lovely Graveyard! Good video Sue!
Thank you Jean
Amazing craftsmanship. Wonder why the women died at such an early age. Thank You Miss Sue
Flu maybe or disease so much of that around ❤❤
Perhaps childbirth too? .
Yes, I'd say so
Sue thank you for taking me with you on your Travels my father was Irish And came from county Kerry but he settled here in wales many many moons ago such a lovely man
Hi Pat, love to hear all the stories of Irish relatives and ancestors ❤️
Sue, this has to be the most amazing cemetery you have found. Knowing that so many gave their lives, for Ireland, is humbling. You have brought their lives to light. May they know that they did not die in vain and may they rest in peace.
Thanks Elizabet ❤️❤️
Hello.Sue, what a beautiful place. They did an amazing job clearing it and bringing those beautiful headstones out in the open. Thank you so much ❤🌹
They worked so hard to clear here hopefully it stays this way now ❤❤
Hi Sue glad to find your channel on Faces of the Forgotten. I am a 2and generation Irish Catholic South African. Cullinan from County Clare is my name.
Hey Gail, thanks for coming over so happy Ron sent you 😊❤
Beautiful tributes and a wonderful resting place. Another one of my favorite videos! You discover the most historic places.
This is a beautiful cemetery, so full of history
Hi sue beautiful head stones lovely video lots of History in this cemetery thanks for sharing this video the writing on these headstones are stunning like what you said take care sue and GV 👍
Thank you Shel
Gosh more& more beautifully carved tombstones❤💚
Hi Sue! Thanks for another great video and for explaining the significance of the sun and moon symbols. I had wondered what they represented. I know of a landowner in the Adelaide Hills who occasionally borrows a herd of goats to keep the grass and weeds in his paddock under control, and their fertiliser is a bonus. 🇦🇺 🇮🇪
Pretty cool Lake, yes I've heard of it but never seen it before ❤❤
Wonderful Sue , Thank you
Thanks Paul ❤️
What an amazing site and video . Thank you so much. God bless Sue.
Thanks Donna ❤️ 😊
What a great cemetary Sue xxx
It's just amazing alright Tom, how are you? And if course the doggie ❤
Beautiful old cemetery .The gravestones are amazing love the old writing on them too .I have never seen that on gravestones in any places I have visited .Such a talent .Another great video Sue .Take care on your travels 🙏
Thanks so much Linda ❤️
@@SerenitySueGraveyards still catching up Sue 😍
Love watching your videos sue I myself like walking around churches and looking at the grave I find it interesting looking at the headstones .and great way to get peace and quiet .🙂
Absolutely, I think it's a great way to pass the time, take in the peace and quiet and remember those forgotten ❤
Whoever cleaned up this cemetery did a great job, I hope they can keep it cleaned up. Good size cemetery, interesting headstones 🪦 the inscriptions on some of them are amazing! I have never seen so many leaning headstones.
Perhaps one day, if the families cannot be contacted or have all passed on, an organization can come in and straighten them.
Thank you very much Sue and GV, for a very interesting video. Take care. 😊
It's one of my favourites on this channel
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I can see why. Thank you very much for getting back to me.
Have a great day.
RIP to all.🙏 Thank you Sue.💚
You're very welcome 🙏
Love the old headstones. So many show Christ and Jacob's ladder.
Really beautiful 😍

Such beautiful hand work, not sure if anyone still does these by hand. Thanks for sharing Sue xx
I don't think so Lorraine, it's impressive ❤❤
Sue I am trying to learn to speak irish and I really love your accent. Also thanks for all the cemetery videos
@williamvasquez1677 that's brilliant
Wow a brilliant graveyard 👏
Thanks Deirdre ❤️
Such an interesting and beautiful cemetery! All those lovely headstones! Thank you for taking us along, Sue!🤗
Thanks Terri ❤️😊
New to your channel from Arizona USA sent by Faces of the forgotten, stated your channel is amazing.
Ahh thanks MaryAnn, it's great to have you here ❤️ Ron is a gentleman 😀
Nice video and so many souls from long ago. I was so surprised how many were young in their 20's Thank you.
Lots from either the 1798 rebellion or diseases, so young God Rest them ❤️
Love exploring old cemeteries. Ty
Thanks Deborah ❤️
Miss Sue, isn't it amazing the history? A 1500's head stone. When we think about it, it was not long ago when Christ was here.
It's amazing how lucky are we to read such works of art ❤❤
Wow love the vlogs of old cemeteries and headstones thanks
Thanks Tom, I love this place ❤️
Amazing tombstones ! Thanks for this amazing video ! So many young people died around 1760s probably means that they were born or children during the Irish Famine(1740's).
Hi Ronaldo, so many diseases in Ireland at the time, it's extremely sad
So heartbreaking that the parents lost their children so young.
It really is, I think this little graveyard has been a favourite of mine, all the beautiful headstones but lots of very young
Thank You so much Sue. I love these videos you make, so much so I am a new subscriber to your channel.
Hi Marty, welcome here ❤
Great vlog Sue! Thanks!
Thank you ❤️
Amazing carvings with so much detail on the headstones and love the lettering on the old headstones. Is Byrne a popular name on Ireland, my great grandmother's maiden name was Bryne. Enjoyed the video. Sorry for missing the live. We're getting ready for a blizzard with 12 to 18 inches of snow and high winds. Thank you Sue, take care and God Bless ❤
Oh wow, hope you're OK? That's some storm, have plenty in stock hunny, yes Byrne is very popular here still, plenty of byrnes around, one of our headstone carvers was J Byrne too ❤❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards thanks Sue we're good, have everything we need if the power goes out. I was just curious about the name Byrne, seems it was on quite a few headstones in different cemeteries. ❤❤
Oh yes, lots of Byrnes around in different cemeteries, pls keep warm and take care ❤
amazing cemetery Sue...I would like to see what Dennis Cullen's headstone looks like, I bet he designed his own
From what I've been told Dennis has no headstone, now I'm still looking into this so I hope it's not true ❤
Hello Sue greetings from America 🇺🇲 👋👋
Hi there Gary, welcome to Ireland
Very Interesting Sue! Thanks for sharing it with us
Thanks for watching ❤❤
Wonderful place ,want to go
Thanks Marie ❤️
Serenity Sue happy belated St.Patrick’s day .😁
Thank you! 🤗 Scott
Amazing video ! Thank you ! A+
Thanks a million ❤️
So Amazing
It's like reading a history book and I'm in it ❤
This is another great vedio
I am surprised in17th century how they engrave names on these stones amazing to see.and other there is alot of people's who died in young age.
Hi, yes amazing, hand chiselled fantastic work, gifted people
I have to watch these nostalgic videos, as my country isnt as old as these, but my ancestors come from old countries
Thanks Elaine wasn't it fantastic ❤
Lovely carvings as you say
Amazing all hand crafted
Beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching ❤
I love your channel, keep up the good work.
Thanks Randy, this is definitely another favourites of mine
I’m sensing some poor soul is restless here
If I where there I would be able to find them and help them
God bless all that rest there ❤
Thank you❤️
Hi Sue, I'm enjoying binge watching. I believe there's history in every cemetery or where ever a loved one final resting place is. Famous or not. They were special to somebody. I loved looked at markers trying to see how old is the oldest one. You have been to some beautiful places. All interesting. I have to ask because I would not be human if I didn't. Have you been to the final resting place of Actor Edward Mulhare.? I have lost a lot of data. I believe he is buried in IRELAND. Though he passed in California in 1997 from lung cancer. He was indeed a Brilliant Actor. Only right that he would be buried in his home country. I live in Georgia. I think women my age only got to know of him through the series The Ghost and Mrs Muir. I saw it through reruns. Which you can still watch on CZcams. You couldn't help but fall in love with Captain Daniel Gregg.😁. Thanks for having such a wonderful channel and doing what you love. We all want to peek, see what's inside masaulems, crypts, look into open holes. I'm not put off by skeletons, skulls. I find it amazing how some are well preserved, even after 100 years some remains are still intact. I love seeing things through your eyes, visiting with you..not knowing what you are going to find. And know we are not so different after all.🙂. I have many videos to watch.but I am enjoying everyone I have seen. Take care, sending, 💜🕯✌🤗. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita james. 👍🧘♀️🕯🙏🦋🌠✨🌻🌷✌🤗💯💜🙌🙂👋.
Hi, we haven't visited him yet but my partner Irish eyes wants to visit him, he is buried in Cork, so we will hopefully go up that way soon 😊
Beautiful. Lots of much deeper engravement saved. I wonder if that one Margaret Byrne was a relative of the engraver John Byrne
Oh good call, maybe so ❤❤
Very Intriguing video
Thanks Ronald, it was amazing standing there ❤❤
Hi Sue, you probably spoke of this in a former video, but what is the significance of the tools, and ladder? Is it because Jesus was a carpenter or is it related to the trade of the person laid to rest or the
Romans and the crucifixion? The dice for the casting of lots? Is the ladder there representing the taking down of Our Lord’s body? Thanks. Another gorgeous place, so glad to see its being restored. Love that the sheep and goats are brought in as nature’s lawn mowers and fertilizers. 💕
Yes it's the story of the crucifixion all details are in description box, the dice are 5 plus 4, representing the 9th hour Jesus died on the cross, beautiful ❤
Boa noite abraço bem antigo este cemitério
Thank you Cleiton ❤️ 😊
It's a really old cemetery I like it
It's gorgeous, the stones are amazing
Good idea keep the grass cropped😊
Hello Mam...stay safe...
Thanks Joel, still recovering from covid here ❤❤
Hello Sue & OBRIEN family
History and a primitive art exhibit.. stunning
Oh yes these headstones are easily the most beautiful I've found 😍
@@SerenitySueGraveyards there was one that showed an angel unlike the others. The more cursive writing seems to stand the rest of time and can still be read.
Thanks Sylvia it's beautiful 😍
I just wonder how they were able to make those stones so beautiful? Knowing that they didn't have the tools that are available now
Hand and chisel, extraordinary work
Incredible tombstones there still good shape for being over 200 years old the cemetery looks like it's well maintained there's other cemetery in that age group that look horrible
There over grown and in bad disrepair I have to admit this cemetery looks good
Tho
Great video. So many graves and years. I am from Colombia and I would like to know in which country is this cemetery? I congratulate you for your historical contribution. Ireland ?.

Yes It's Ireland, it is one of the best cemeteries I think I've found with so many beautifully chiseled graves ❤❤
These videos are awesome it's making me wonder how many people will visit my grave after 2 to 3 hundred years
Thanks Martin ❤️
I wonder if the Mason Cullen made his own stone, if he did I bet its amazing
You know I was told he has none at all or if he does it's not known
That's so sad he deserves to be remembered for his great work
Absolutely Hazel ❤
Hi Sue, many thanks for the lovely work you do. May I ask what the tools symbolise on the head stones?
It would symbolise the tools used in the crucifixion ❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards many thanks for the feedback
Theres some interesting sounds in the beginning of this video :45 seconds, a horn? 1:46 Sounds like bells to me. Obviously could just be the wind or sounds from a nearby town...but interesting
Thank you, this place is not near a town, interesting
Another wonderful stroll. Beautiful. As you said a person could spend hours and not see everything. Question - I noticed the letters IHS on several stones, do you know the meaning?
In hoc salus stands for Jesus as far as I know..part 2 coming soon of this place ❤
Beautiful headstones but for young people again
So many young
Many of our ancestors buried there, it's funny how after leaving they never went back.
Like anyone, they longed for their homeland I presume ❤️
👍👍👍
Thanks Miss Marple
Do people ever straighten up the leaning stones? It is so sad when they fall over completely.
Not from what I've seen Lee
Legally it's meant to be maintained by family members. With the beauty and elegance of these stones it would be amazing to see how they turned out if the cleaning agent D2 was used on them I've seen some outstanding results when this was used to clean up the stones.
sweet the cemetry some one right writing a tone so good memories people now that.ok sue my comen.bye💌
Thank you Pelangi
