What is recorded here

This roughly subrectangular graveyard (c. 70m NNE-SSW; c. 63m ESE-WNW) is associated with the church (GA105-118----), which occupies its NE end. It is enclosed by a rubble-built stone wall capped with concrete and access is gained through an entrance gateway at SE. Most of the headstones date to the 18th and 19th centuries, the earliest noted dated to 1730. On inspection it was still in use.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA105-118001
