What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on elevated ground south of a public road in County Limerick, overlooking the land in every direction. A rough stone wall, partly broken and patched with cement, encloses the oval space where the ivy-clad remains of Tuogh church still sit at the centre. Headstones from the late 18th century and vaulted tombs from the 19th century mark the places where people were laid to rest, while the graveyard remains in use and maintained today.
