Irish poet William Butler Yeats chose this peaceful churchyard at Drumcliffe in County Sligo as his final resting place, with its stunning location at the foot of Benbulben mountain. The graveyard has the remains of a round tower and a high cross constructed in the 11th century when there was a Christian monastery on site. The monastery was founded by Saint Columcille (Columba) in 574.
