What is recorded here

Church (in ruins) is a graveyard in Cooneen (dolla Par.), County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies pasture at the east end of an east-west ridge, just off the crest towards the south slope, where the ground drops steeply to the Nenagh River. The ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe listed it in 1302. A rectangular limestone rubble church has largely collapsed, though its north side remains the most substantial.

Situated in pasture at the E end of an E-W ridge, just off the crest towards the S slope. The ground slopes steeply immediately S of the church towards the Nenagh River which is at the base of the slope. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). A rectangular church (TN033-005001) built with limestone rubble which has largely collapsed, that on the N side being the most substantial. On the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map the church is surrounded by a trapezoidal enclosure entitled 'Burial Ground' (TN033-005003). While no burials are apparent outside the church there are traces of a boundary wall extending N-S immediately W of the church and to the NE. Some of the stones within the church itself may be burial markers as the OS Name Books (1840) note that 'children were still being buried within the walls of the church' (TN033-005002).
