What is recorded here
Grave Yard holds nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones beside the ruined parish church of Loghill, set on a north-facing slope above the Glashanagard River. The low stone wall and eastern gateway mark an oval stretch of uneven farmland where burial clustered west and south of the church remains. People may have chosen the drop toward water because it made the place easier to find, or because they believed the dead should face the living world rather than turn from it.
In farmland, on N-facing slope overlooking Glashanagard River. Roughly-oval area (c. 45m N-S; c. 50m E-W) enclosed by low stone wall, with gateway on E side. Surface of graveyard uneven and sloping down steeply on N side following natural gradient. Headstones date to 19th and 20th centuries, and are concentrated to W and S of ruin of parish church of Loghill (LI009-005001-) which is located NE-of-centre.
