What is recorded here
The graveyard in Loughkeen is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a slight rise in undulating countryside and surrounds the ivy-covered remains of a rectangular building made from uncoursed red sandstone rubble. Only the north, south and east walls survive, while a burial vault and dense overgrowth block entry to the interior. The irregular graveyard measures about 63 metres from northeast to southwest and 40 metres from northwest to southeast, and it contains eighteenth and nineteenth-century headstones.
Situated on a slight rise of ground in undulating countryside. The poorly preserved remains of an ivy-covered rectangular building (TN008-058001) built with uncoursed red sandstone rubble. Only the N, S and E walls survive with the interior of the church inaccessible due to the presence of a burial vault and dense overgrowth. The irregular shaped graveyard (approx. int. dims. 63m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) enclosing the church contains eighteenth/nineteenth-century headstones. The Royal Visitation of 1615 described the building as a ' church and chancell well repayred' (Murphy 1914, 221).
