Grave Yard Hachured

A church formerly stood within an oval-shaped rath (CV021-006001) just E of the summit of a high drumlin hill. No Visible remains of church at ground level. However, a stone head (CV021-006004-) probably originally from the site is now built into the wall of the modern Catholic church c. 25m E of the graveyard. Also, two stoups of late medieval date are housed there. Graveyard is a raised area defined by a scarp faced with drystone walling, outside of which there is a modern trench running from N-NE-E and from S-SW. Oldest headstone inscription dates to 1740. Original entrance, now marked by a modern gate and pillars, was at ESE. (Davies 1948,80). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
