Graveyard

What is recorded here

On a rise. A rectangular graveyard (61m E-W; 46m N-S) enclosed by a random rubble limestone wall. According to local information, people wishing to bury their dead had to bring in earth because of the rocky nature of the ground. Molahiffe church (KE048-036001-) is situated in the NE quadrant of the graveyard.
