According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 45 (137)), 'In Carragh T.L. are the ruins of an old church (KD018-011001-), the burial ground belonging to which is still in use'. The burial ground is, however, not indicated on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. At the top of a gentle, E-facing pasture slope. A rectangular area (dims L 40m E-W, Wth c. 30m) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall on the S, W and N sides, and by a deep drain (D 2m; Wth 1.8m) along the E. There is an entrance gate on the W side. The ruins of a church (KD018-011001-) lie in the S sector and the burials are marked mainly by headstones, with a few flat graveslab, the earliest legible of which date to the 18th-century. A modern extension to the graveyard runs to the E and S. A roadside cross (KD018-010----) once stood c. 200m to the NW and a second roadside cross (KD018-012----) existed in the vicinity also.
