What is recorded here

This rectangular graveyard (26.1m E-W; 12.3m N-S), associated with St. Patrick's Church (GA040-013001-), is bounded by a modern wall. Burials are concentrated to the S of the church and continue eastwards from its E gable wall. The famed pillar stone (GA040-013002-) is visible to the SW of the church. Two other plain erect pillar stones are probably grave-markers. Modern 19th-century graveslabs are visible as well as some very small boulders that also probably mark graves.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA040-013003
