In the S quadrant are the remains of Derrycloney church (TS068-098001-). On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map the graveyard is indicated by a dashed line as an unenclosed, roughly D-shaped area (c. 38m E-W; c. 16m N-S) extending S and E of the church, with the church forming the W end of the N boundary. There is no graveyard indicated on the 1900-05 ed. A possible enclosure (TS068-099----) is located c. 80m to the E. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 4 June 2014
