Grave Yard

In gently undulating terrain surrounded to the N, E and S by pasture and by tillage across the road to the W. An irregularly shaped graveyard (dims. 90m N–S; 57m E–W) with a medieval church (TS069-062----) located S of centre within the interior. The graveyard, which White (1892, 16) describes as being 'well enclosed', is defined by a stone wall (H 1.2m). The W wall of the graveyard appears to have been extended westward by 4m. The stone wall on the W side is of more recent construction than the wall enclosing the other sides and there is a low bank in the interior which runs parallel to the W wall which appears to be the grass-covered remains of an earlier wall. Within the graveyard the earliest headstones, dating to the 18th and 19th-century are within the church interior and clustered S of the church. There are two possible bullaun stones (TS069-062002-; TS069-062003-) incorporated into the W wall of the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 29 September 2011
