"This stone was erected by James Dillon of Donaghadee in memory of his son John, a handsome promising youth, who died of the measles, on the 13th day in the 13th year of his age. 1st December 1808.

Also here rests the mortal remains of the above named James Dillon who dies on the 16th August 1830 aged 60 years."
Templepatrick Graveyard, Ballyvester

A small graveyard on the coast in the townland of Miller Hill, parish of Donaghadee.

It is located on the seaward side of the road from Donaghadee to Millisle, one mile north of the latter. There is no trace of a church but there was a well on the seaward side of the graveyard known as St Patrick's well and there is a tradition that St Patrick once landed here. Most of the graves date from the 18th and 19th centuries but the earliest recorded dates from 1678.
