Grave Yd.

On the N side of the main street in Kilgarvan. A roughly square graveyard (c. 50m x 50m), enclosed by a masonry stone wall with the entrance at SW. It is in occasional use. The medieval parish church (KE094-004001-) is at the centre of the graveyard. A number of altar-tombs, some dating to the 19th century, are located in the S and SW sectors of the graveyard. One tomb adjoins the SE corner of the church. Inscribed headstones are situated to the N of the church; some unmarked graves were noted. The ruin of a 19th-century Catholic church (KE094-004004-) stands in the W side of the graveyard. A bullaun stone (KE094-004002-) is in a garden wall on the S side of the street, opposite the graveyard.
