Burial ground in Tinwear

Unlocated graveyard within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'an ancient burial ground, with rude head-stones deeply sunk in the ground, was come upon in the townland, about 1860, in the northern angle of the field called the "Seven acres". This field is also called the "Battlefield"; and human remains, evidences of the conflict from which the name is taken, have been frequently found beneath its grassy surface, towards the centre' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 224).
