What is recorded here

On level, improved pasture c. 50m N of the Lyreen River, possibly on the site of an Early Christian monastery (KD005-009001-), with traces of a possibly associated enclosure (KD005-021-) c. 250m to the NE, and c. 200m S of a possible castle site (KD005-008----). A large, sub-rectangular roadside graveyard (dims. L c. 90m E-W; Wth c. 80m N-S) is enclosed by a well-built mortared stone wall. It contains a medieval church (KD005-009002-) to SW of centre. Legible burial markers date from the 18th century to the present-day. Archaeological monitoring (Licence no. 97E0390) of the excavation of a gas pipeline trench along the road verge immediately S of the graveyard revealed previously disturbed ground but no archaeological deposits.
