Grave Yd.

Located at the top of a steep cliff (H c. 30-40m) overlooking the estuary of the Barrow/Nore/Suir, which is to the S. The church of St James and Dunbrody (WX044-018001-) was within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 90m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls. Some grave-markers are decorated with plain latin crosses in relief. A granite trough (ext. dims 1m x 0.63m; H 0.25m; int. dims 0.82m x 0.44m; D 0.16m) is coffin-shaped and child-sized, and might have been closed by the stone effigy (WX44-033002-) now in Arthurstown village c. 500m to the E. The stone head (WX044-033001-) now in the village also probably came from this church. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 17 June, 2013 Amended: 9 September 2020
