What is recorded here
Situated on a rise on the S side of a WNW-ESE stream. It is described as a 'Grave Yard' on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map. This is a rectangular area (dims. c. 80m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a stone wall with some bushes. Burial dates from c. 1720, but there is no evidence that there was ever a church here. The church of Templeshanbo (WX014-011001-) is c. 100m to the N on the other side of the stream.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
