What is recorded here

Within an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL034-211004-). The rectangular graveyard (c. 60m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) is enclosed by a stone wall and has an entrance on the NE side. The ruin of Ballindoon Abbey (SL034-211001-), a Dominican foundation, occupies the SW corner. The graveyard, which is still in use, is grass-covered and full of 19th- and 20th-century headstones. There is a plain 19th-century barrel-vaulted mausoleum, belonging to the Gethin family, to the NW of the priory. According to local information, burials were uncovered during surface quarrying in the vicinity of the graveyard.
