What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands in pasture on a south-facing slope above the Argideen river, where a stone wall encloses slabs dating to the 1770s and the ruined Clogagh church. A small watchman's hut still holds its door and fireplace in the northwest corner, suggesting someone once stayed beside the dead rather than visiting them. The place lacks flashy monuments but keeps a sharp human shape: a guarded boundary between the living field and the remembered dead.

In pasture, on break in S-facing slope, overlooking Argideen river. Rectangular area enclosed by stone wall. Earliest slabs noted date to 1770s. Remains of rectangular watchman's hut (5.1m N-S; 3.8m E-W) (CO123-025003-) in NW corner; door in E wall; fireplace in S wall. Ruins of Clogagh church (CO123-025002-) in NE corner.
