What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a graveyard in Church Hill, County Sligo, Ireland. Local information says the ecclesiastical enclosure served as a graveyard until about 1900 AD, though an 1836 observation recorded an old abbey and burying ground at the site. No graves or grave-markers remain visible, and a man-made underground passage lies in the adjoining field to the southwest.
