What is recorded here

Burial Ground (Disused) is a burial ground in Moycarky, County Tipperary, Ireland. The roughly triangular enclosure measures 33.5 metres north-south and 45 metres east-west, and a wide flat-topped earth and stone bank defines its boundary. That bank reaches 2.1 metres across its crest, 3.9 metres across its base, 0.52 metres inside and 0.26 metres outside, with its strongest remains in the southwest corner and along the south side. The site sits on a gentle southeast-facing slope in reclaimed pastureland, and vegetation still obscures the interior where no burials are evident.
