What is recorded here

The graveyard in Mylerstown (Kilgrant parish) is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies an irregular area 66 metres north-south and 76 metres east-west at the base of a north-facing slope in a small east-west valley. The church stands near the southern boundary, while the earliest visible headstone, dated 1732, lies immediately south of the church's east end. An overgrown vault sits immediately north of the chancel, and the site marks the junction of three roads.
