Situated towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. The original church of St Tigearnach (MO011-010001-) and perhaps other structures like the cloister and church of the Augustinian abbey of Ss Peter and Paul might have been located in the graveyard that incorporates the round tower (MO011-010002-) into its perimeter at W. This is now an oval area (max. dims c. 80m E-W; c. 40-45m N-S) defined by masonry walls with the stone shrine (MO011-010004-) inside the perimeter at S, but at one time it may have been much larger and included the small graveyard around the Romanesque church c. 40m to the ENE. The burials (MO011-010-009-; MO011-010010-) recovered between the graveyards demonstrate this. The headstone inscriptions in both graveyards have been recorded (Mulligan and McMahon 1984, 421-32) and they date generally from c. 1725 in both to c. 1850 at the Romanesque church and to c. 1900 in the main graveyard.

Shrine in CrossmoyleShrine · 36 yd

Explorer Tom Shrine in Crossmoyle would post 'Just woke up from a thousand-year nap' on social media. It looks like a tiny wooden church carved from sandstone. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Clones Courthouse in Crossmoyle is proud of its robust masonry and the fact that nobody has sued it for being too serious yet. It’s a bridewell next to the main court, standing tall with dressed quoins that look like they mean business. Take the long way round, it dislikes rushing.

Explorer Tom This Common Lime in County Monaghan keeps whispering to its younger self about making better leaf choices. It’s got serious regret issues now. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
