Graveyard in Ballylegan, County Tipperary

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

On rock outcrop in undulating terrain. Very steep drop immediately W and N of church walls as a result of large scale quarrying. Graveyard is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map by a dashed line around a roughly circular area immediately S of the church (TS076-036----). On the latest ed. the graveyard is more irregular in shape (dims. approx. 38m N-S; 26m E-W) and again is indicated by a dashed line. There is no evident boundary for the graveyard and its extent could not be established as the area is badly overgrown with long grass and brambles.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS076-036001
