What is recorded here
Burial Ground is a steep, south-facing graveyard in County Clare, Ireland. Its masonry wall encloses a church and a possible coffin-resting stone at the entrance, while two old wells sit nearby on the slope. Death, water and memory still occupy the same small place.
On a steep S-facing slope. A subrectangular graveyard (int. dims. 42m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by a masonry wall with a church (CL033-006001-) in the N portion. A possible coffin-resting stone forms part of the entrance. Toberlaughteen (CL033-006003-), a circular well (diam. 0.95m) with a corbelled canopy, is just SE of the graveyard. Tobernatasha well (CL033-007001-) is c. 150m S of the church. (Swinfen 1992, 79-80)
