What is recorded here
This graveyard (c. 77m NE-SW; c. 56m E-W), which is very irregular in outline, is delimited by a wall that was built by the Office of Public Works in the late 19th century. Within it is most of the monastic complex known as na Seacht Teampaill/the Seven Churches, including Teampall Bhreacáin/Temple Brecan(GA110-010001-) and a number of associated domestic buildings (GA110-010006- to GA110-010013-), four leachtaí (GA110-023001- to GA110-023003- and GA110-023009-) and numerous cross-slabs (GA110-023010- and GA110-023013- to GA110-023024-). Most of the burials are concentrated to the NE, E and S of the church and there are also some within the church as well as the domestic buildings.
