What is recorded here

A rectangular graveyard (c. 65m SW-NE; c. 45m SE-NW), including a recent extension, enclosed by a stone wall. Inscribed headstones date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. The site of a church (SL041-038001-), probably the medieval parish church of Kilmactrany, lies just N of the early 19th-century C of I church. A 17th-century stone cross (SL041-038007-) last seen on top of the McConmee vault in 1995 cannot be found (pers. comm. M. B. Timoney). There is a wayside cross (SL041-03803-) in the field to the N. The site of a mound (SL041-038004-) and a standing stone (SL041-038005-) are c. 50m to SE.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL041-038002
