What is recorded here

O'Donovan found a small, little frequented burial ground with faint church foundations in 1839. The place belonged to the friary at Graney according to two 1538 inquisitions, and a font once stood there. Neither font nor church remains visible now, though the graveyard still marks the spot where people gathered, buried their dead and forgot the building's name.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 16 December 2009 Revised by: J. Farrelly According to O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 126), 'small and little frequented burial ground … with faint traces of foundation of Church'.

OS 6-inch map, roughly centrally placed within a graveyard (CW013-023003-), and is described as being in ruins but by the later OS ed. the church is described as 'Site of'. Neither font nor church remains visible.
