Burial Ground

On the W side of a S-N valley on a severe slope. Marked 'Burial Ground' on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. Subrectangular area (dims. c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank and containing 19th- and 20th-century headstones. There is no tradition of or visible evidence of a church at this site. Fragments of a cross (TS085-003----) decorated with the coat of arms of the Leonard family were once at Tinvane House, Co. Tipperary (Killanin and Duignan 1962, 144) but are now unlocated. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Mary Tunney Date of upload/revision: 4 March 2013
