What is recorded here

Grave Yard belongs to the Augustinian priory in County Clare, Ireland, where irregular rows of slabs and unmarked stones hold people buried from the mid-19th century onward. Its wall leaves the abbey transept through a narrow pointed doorway, as if the monastery still controlled who entered and when. The place does not claim ancient grandeur; it keeps ordinary death close to a building that once measured life in prayer.

This graveyard associated with the Augustinian priory (CL026-014001-) is irregular in shape (c. 25m N-S; c. 35m E-W). Burials are marked by slabs, headstones and unmarked stones, with none earlier than the mid-19th century. The graveyard wall which extends E from the SE angle of the transept of the abbey has a late pointed chamfered doorway (Wth 1.12m; H 1.57m).
