What is recorded here

Anhid Grave Yard holds a medieval church on the west bank of the River Maigue, where water still moves beside the dead. A later stone wall closed the place, but older earthworks curve around it like a forgotten first boundary. The yard is small enough to walk in minutes, yet large enough to suggest several ages of burial, prayer and abandonment.
Situated on grassland immediately W of the River Maigue. W gable of medieval parish church (LI030-064002-) of Anhid stands in W quadrant of sub-rectangular shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 37m N-S x 50m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall with entrance gate at W end of S wall. Curving bank immediately to E and curving earthwork 28m to N visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph appears to represent the remains of an earlier ecclesiastical enclosure (LI030-064001-). Curving earthwork of dried up stream visible to S and W of graveyard. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 January 2019
