The graveyard is for the religious of the establishment only.

I think the photoshopping has scratched out the laundry hung out to dry.

Looks like a convent/school/chapel complex.

Is that reversed handwriting at bottom left? Or weeds!

Yes, here it is in the archive with the laundry unshopped.

I think it's Béal Átha (mouth of the ford) rather than Baile Na (town of the), so Mouth of the Ford of Crowds.

I'll bow to your greater knowledge on the subject:-) In my native place the Fairgreen which was still used up to the late '50's was also the place of public execution. It was contiguous to both the courts and the prison which probably helped!

I see 3 churches, the town hall and a school which are in the NIAH - but all are older than 1865, no help on dates.

Streetview

Aha, I think this is at the early end of the date range. We should see the gable of this building, the former Sisters of Mercy convent, behind the left end of the town hall, and we don't, we see a different building. The NIAH dates it to roughly 1860, but gives a wide range, meaning they aren't very sure.
