The Meagher family tomb is in Faithlegge cemetery just a few mile east of Waterford city and quite near to the Meagher seat at Ballycanvan.  Faithlegge is marked with a letter X on the map of east Waterford, below.  

 

 

The table tomb is at the back of the cemetery to the left of the church as you view the church from the roadway.
