What is recorded here
Prominently located at the S end of a low spur overlooking mixed pasture and tillage to E, S and W. A triangular area is defined along the roadside to S by a mortared stone wall (L c. 70m) facing a low earthen bank, by a gently curving wall (L c. 70m), which also acts as a townland boundary, along the W, and by a low hedged, earthen field bank (L c. 95m) along the E. The interior contains a ruined church (KD026-010----). The earliest legible grave markers date to the 18th-century and the graveyard is still in use.
