Grave Yard

Partly incorporated into a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD004-018001-). A D-shaped area (int. diam. 28m E-W) with straight W side (L c. 18m) is defined by a broad, deep ditch (max Wth 7.4m; max D 2m) and a low, narrow, external earthen bank (Wth 0.8m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-E-SW, and by a low scarp (H 0.9m) along the W, from where two concentric arcs of wooden fencing extend the burial limits W (L 19m E-W) into the interior of the older enclosure (KD004-018001-). Legible grave markers commemorate burials from the late 17th century to the late-20thC. See Cullen and O'Leary (1999, 66-69) for plan and inventory of burials. The interior contained a font (KD004-018004-). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

Early medieval graveyard, possibly associated with an ecclesiastical site; its location and ditched enclosure suggest a significant, though poorly understood, religious or ceremonial function in the local landscape.
