What is recorded here
Grave Yard stands at the base of a narrow peninsula beside Lough Allen, perhaps marking a lost island now swallowed by the lake. Saint Patrick's church watches the small walled graveyard where nineteenth-century headstones still break through the soil. The water took the wider land but the memory remains, preserving a boundary between the living shore and the drowned world below.
Located at the base of a S-N peninsula (dims c. 70m N-S; c. 30m E-W at S) which might once have been a small island close to the W shore of Lough Allen. Saint Patrick's church (LE020-003001-) is at the N edge of a small graveyard (dims c. 30m E-W; c. 20-35m N-S) defined by masonry walls, which contains some 19th-century headstones. Archaeological testing (04E0761) on a large area (dims c. 160m E-W; c.100m N-S) just to the S of the graveyard produced no related material (Read 2007).
