Church (Site of) Graveyard — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Church Graveyard holds a forgotten church beneath neglect and stone. Its remaining wall rises barely two metres, marked by three rectangular openings that may have been inserted later. Headstones from the 18th and 19th centuries still stand around the buried place, testifying that people once gathered there, prayed there and were laid to rest there before the building disappeared from memory.

Very fragmentary remains of a now featureless church in a much neglected walled graveyard. Only part of S face of N wall (max L c. 8m, max. H 2.50m) and small portion of base of W wall. Built with roughly course rubble limestone. Three rectangular shaped opes in N wall appear to be later insertions. (Comerford 1883, 195). Very fragmentary remains of a church within a much neglected graveyard (OF026-028002-). Only part of the N wall (max. L c. 8m; max. H 2.5m) with its N face missing and a very small portion of the base of the W wall can be seen above ground level. Church is built with rubble limestone roughly coursed and the N wall has a line of three rectangular shaped opes (c. 0.3m by 0.4m) set at the same height. These appear to be later insertions. According to Comerford (1883, 195) small portion of E gable erected in the 19th-century. No other features visible. Square shaped graveyard with 18th/19th-century headstones enclosed by a stone wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
