What is recorded here
On the E side of Kiltormer village. This well-maintained rectilinear graveyard (c. 50m NW-SE; c. 44m E-W) is defined by a mortared stone wall capped with concrete. Access is gained via a gateway at N. Headstones range in date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 2, 113) 'the old protestant church [GA099-1270020] of this parish' stood in this graveyard and it was in use 'until a few years ago, when it was thrown down' and only its foundations were discernible. No visible surface trace of this structure now survives but a possible finial cross (GA099-127001-) noted in the SE of the graveyard may be associated with it. A holy well (GA099-123----) lies c. 55m to the E.
