What is recorded here

An irregular-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 36m E-W; c. 35m N-S at the E end of the graveyard, tapering to c. 18m at the W end) with a ruinous medieval church (KK031-004001-) along the N boundary. The surrounding field to the N is known locally as the Mass Field. The OS Letters (1839) describe, ‘A small burying ground attached’ to the medieval church (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 93 (30)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 39) mentions a couple of headstones in the graveyard, both of which date to the first half of the 19th century. The graveyard is enclosed by a stone wall, with gate piers at the S end of the E wall of the graveyard.

Church (in Ruins), Stone CrossChurch · 1545 yd

Explorer Tom Church, Stone Cross in Dunnamaggan East was once offered to a very aggressive cow who wanted to live there. The cross is still standing while the church mostly gave up on life. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

Cross in Dunnamaggan EastCross · 1548 yd

Explorer Tom Cross in Dunnamaggan East was built for the bargain price of three chickens and a promise. It still acts like it’s worth a king’s ransom today, which is cheeky. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom St. Rynaghs Well has no information, so I'm just making stuff up here to fill the silence. I bet it posts selfies on social media with the caption 'mysterious'. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Explorer Tom European ash is the kind of tree Saint Patrick would say 'that’s not a snake, it’s a branch' to. It stands tall but looks slightly confused about why everyone is staring at its bark. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
