Churchyard in Rosclogher

Churchyard

What is recorded here

Yes. An old churchyard stands close to the S shore of Lough Melvin, where a low earthen bank, a scarp and a slight western bank enclose the church without clear evidence of burial. The measured limits, about 45m east-west and 20-25m north-south, suggest a kept boundary rather than a crowded grave field. People may have walked there to pray, remember or watch the water, while the lake took what it wanted and left the earth quiet.
Close to the S shore of Lough Melvin. A low earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.9m) 21m to the E of the church (LE002-015001-), a scarp (H 1.8m) down to the lakeshore to the N and a slight bank to W form an enclosure (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 20-25m N-S) around the church but with no evidence of burial.
