Graveyard

What is recorded here

In low-lying rolling pasture, just above flood plain of river and 100m SE of Glashare Castle (KK008-026----). There is no visible trace above ground of a church (KK008-027001-) within the roughly square graveyard (dims. 34m N-S; 32.5m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall. The OS Letters (1839) note the name of the 'old small burying ground' as 'Teampall Ghlaise Air, i.e., Gleshare Church' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 153 (50)). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 287), 'There are several headstone here, all of modern date'. When visited in 1987 it was noted that the graveyard was still in use, though overgrown.
