What is recorded here
Situated on a slight rise. The site of the parish church of Magheracloone (MO033-005001-) is on the same location as the present Church of Ireland church of St Molua in the SE quadrant of a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 75m NW-SE; c. 60m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls with the straightest wall at NW. In the graveyard are three headstones shaped like latin crosses, which commemorate Owen MacMahon (1687), Thomas MacNamorue (1685) and Patrick Mahen (1688). Archaeological testing (05E1374) outside the graveyard N-SE identified a fosse to the NE and SE (McLoughlin 2006, 5-7) which could represent an ecclesiastical enclosure (MO033-005007-).
