On a rise of ground sloping gradually to S-SW in undulating pasture. A road runs outside the southern boundary of the graveyard and there is a house to the W. Cramps Castle (TS070-045002-) is visible 640m to the SW. The church (TS070-015----) is on the N side of a rectangular graveyard (dims. 42m N-S; 25m E-W), which is defined by an earthen bank. The graveyard is entered through a stone stile towards the W end of the S side. Along the N side the bank kicks in to meet the E and W gable of the church, the N wall of the church forming part of the boundary. Within the rectangular graveyard there is evidence of an earlier curving enclosure (N-S from the S wall of the church 12m; E-W 40m) defined by a bank (Wth at crest 1.1m; Wth at base 3.2m; H above int. 0.4m; H above ext. 0.8m) from S-W-N. This curving enclosure is 1m within the rectangular enclosure at its maximum extent and curves to the N and S to join with the rectangular enclosure. In the graveyard the headstones are of 18th/19th century date and there are a number of small boulders functioning as grave-markers.

Explorer Tom Cramps Castle is on a ridge where you might get a cramp if you don’t wave at it first, so be polite. The curse only hits people who are rude to stone walls, apparently. Go before the tourists find out.

Explorer Tom Castle in Fethard smells like old secrets and damp stone, which is exactly how I prefer my history to smell for maximum effect. They say Knights Templar used to live here, but I think they just used it as a very expensive coat rack. Go in good boots and better humour.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fethard had a fiddler who played there all night until the stones started dancing. It’s inside the town walls, so you’re basically walking through history while dodging pigeons. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
