What is recorded here

Located on the NE-facing slope of a slight NW-SE ridge in a low-lying landscape. The parish church of St Nicholas’ parish (WX032-013001-) is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as being within a graveyard that is named and indicated faintly as a rectangular area (dims. c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30-35m NW-SE). There are no visible remains of an enclosure or evidence of burial at ground level, although the ground around the church is said locally to be stony.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WX032-013002
