Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilkenny graveyard keeps two stubborn stone heaps where a rectangular church stood before 1810. Its walls were broken and rebuilt into the cemetery boundary, yet those displaced chunks remained visible beside the burial ground. The building left no clear ruin, but it still shapes the place through the stones people chose not to scatter.

In a graveyard (KE068-003001-). Indicated as a rectangular 'Church in ruins' (c. 15m E-W; c. 8m N-S) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of this church. It is unclear if overgrown mounds at the E and W side of the graveyard are the remnants of the church. In the 1940s it was noted that the 'cemetery wall [was] built with stones from the old chapel about 1810. Two heaps of stones still remain.' (Schools Manuscript, Co.
