What is recorded here
The oval form of the graveyard (WM007-045001-) boundary wall possibly indicates the presence of an Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure (Swan 1988, 21) associated with a monastery founded by Diarmuid, son of Lughna, patron saint of the parish of Faughalstown (Ó Riain 2011, 516). The curving boundary wall on the N side of the graveyard follows the curving line of an earlier larger ecclesiastical enclosure preserved in the curving field boundary 40m N of the graveyard wall.
