What is recorded here

This graveyard (c. 80m ENE-WSW; c. 65m NNW-SSE), roughly trapezoidal in plan, is associated with a church (GA099-114001-). It is delimited by a stone wall and access is through a gateway in the W wall. It has been extended towards the NW and the line of the earlier N wall has been removed but its line is still discernible. The majority of the graveslabs in the older S part of the graveyard date to the 18th and 20th centuries and a number of worked stones from the church have been reused in this section as grave-markers.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA099-114002
