What is recorded here

In low-lying pastureland near the shore of Kinvarra Bay. Associated with the medieval church (GA102-029----), which occupies its S end, this roughly wedge-shaped graveyard (c. 75m NW-SE; c. 68m NE-SE) is delimited by a wall. Access is via a gateway at NW. Most of the graveslabs are illegible, the oldest dates to the 18th century. The impressive classicaly inspired mausoleum of the de Basterots and French families is to the E of the church. The graveyard is still in use.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA102-029001
