What is recorded here

According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 34 (101)), the 'old graveyard (was) used as yet as a place of sepulture'. On a NE-facing pasture slope with a castle site (KD002-005----) c. 100m to the SW. An overgrown, triangular area (dims. L c. 26m along N; L c. 25m along E; L c. 35m along W) with a rounded apex to S and curving N-limits, is defined by a low, dry-stone wall, outside of which, along the N, a small tributary of the River Boyne flows NW. The interior is accessed through an iron gate on the E side and the oldest visible headstone is dated 1769. The burial ground appears to be disused.
