What is recorded here

Situated on a bluff overlooking the valley of the W-E Nanny River, with a WNW-ESE section of the stream c. 50m to the NE. The parish church of Ballymagarvey (ME032-009----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 45m E-W; c. 22m N-S at E to c. 30m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls and has headstones dating from c. 1757 to 1976. The font (ME032-009002-) is just E of the church, and the Balrath wayside cross (ME032-010----) was moved from its original position c. 270m to the ENE beside the old Kentstown to Duleek road and is now displayed at the SE angle of the graveyard (ME032-009003-). Archaeological monitoring (16E0582) by N. Colfer of an E-W drain c. 25m to the S at the closest point produced no related material, although a short wall footing thought to be post-medieval was encountered c. 50m SW of the graveyard (excavations.ie 2016:640).
