What is recorded here

Grave Yards holds a narrow strip of Clare earth beside St. Caimin’s church, marked by a low wall of rough stones and mostly modern headstones. Its eastern edge touches the Saint’s graveyard, where an older cross-inscribed stone still stands near the entrance. The two places share one boundary, as if ordinary death and holy memory had agreed to keep company rather than compete.

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope on the E side of Inis Cealtra S of St. Caimin’s church (CL029-009011-). An irregularly shaped graveyard (c. 25m E-W; c. 27m N-S) defined by a low mortared wall (av. int. H 0.65m; Wth 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) of roughly coursed rectangular blocks, cross-capped with rough slabs. There is an entrance gate (Wth 1.26m) at the SW corner of St. Caimin’s church where it meets the graveyard wall. A small stile at W (Wth 0.28m) is splayed internally and externally. The E wall is shared with the ‘Saint’s graveyard’ (CL029-009030-). The headstones are mostly 20th century but a possible cross-inscribed stone (CL029-009195-) is erected at E just outside the entrance to the Saint’s graveyard.
