What is recorded here
Associated with an early monastery and the Augustinian priory (LF026-016002-) that occupies most of its W half. This oval-shaped graveyard (79m NW-SE; 57m NE-SW) is defined by a stone wall that was almost certainly built upon the enclosing element of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (LF026-016001-). Access is via a wrought-iron gate with an adjacent stile at NE. Memorials date from the 18th to the 21st centuries but numerous architectural fragments from the cloister arcade are scattered around the graveyard. (ITA Survey 1944; Lennon 2005)
