What is recorded here
The parish church of Taghboy (RO044-079001-) is at the N edge of a D-shaped graveyard (RO044-079002-) with the straight side at N defined by masonry walls, which are on the remains of an earthen bank E-S. A shallow fosse (Wth of top 4m-12m; D 0.2m-0.9m) can be traced NE-S on the E side of a NNE-SSW public road, while traces of the bank can be detected W-NW, creating an enclosure (diam. c. 100m E-W), but the perimeter cannot be traced at NW-NE.
