What is recorded here
The graveyard in Tubbrid is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a roughly rectangular area measuring about 56 metres north to south and 65 metres east to west, tapering to about 45 metres east to west at the south end. The graveyard wall runs up to the east gable of the adjacent chapel. Seventeenth-century graveslabs and well-carved eighteenth and nineteenth-century headstones survive within the boundary, and the historian Geoffrey Keating is buried here.
On a break in slope, off the crest of a W-facing slope in hilly terrain, mostly pasture. Chapel (TS081-054----) is situated at E end of a roughly rectangular-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 56m N-S; c. 65m E-W, tapering at the S to c. 45m E-W). The graveyard wall runs up to the E gable of the chapel. There are a number of 17th-century graveslabs recorded in the graveyard, two of which (TS081-054005-; TS081-054006-) are not visible above ground and one visible (TS081-054004-). Also within the graveyard are well carved 18th and 19th century headstones. The historian Geoffrey Keating, to whom the plaque over the chapel doorway is partially dedicated, is buried here.
