Grave Yd. (Disused)

Graveyard consists of a rectangular shaped area (int. dims. 76m N-S; 47m E-W) defined by a low earthen and stone bank (Wth 2m; H 0.8m), the W and S sides of which are coterminous with field boundaries. Its N and E sides are much denuded. There are no extant inscribed or uninscribed grave markers in the graveyard. The occasional earthfast boulder occurs in the area to the E of the church (LA023-007003-). It is likely that it was cleared of its gravemarkers in more recent times. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007
