Graveyard

What is recorded here

Thirty-eighty metres south-east of Lea Castle, a square graveyard holds the last visible trace of a church that has mostly returned to soil. Its wall still marks the boundary, but inside the foundations have lost their shape and the western fragment offers no more than a hint of what stood there. The glebe name suggests clergy once lived and worked beside this place, tending the dead and the living in the same low-lying field.
Church (LA005-007-) in low lying area with little evidence of upstanding remains except for featureless fragment at W side of graveyard. Wall foundations E of centre of graveyard with no obvious pattern. Square shaped graveyard (int. dims. 65m N-S; 58m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall as indicated on current ed OS 6-inch map. Church site in centre of graveyard. Located 380m to the SE of Lea Castle (LA005-006-). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
