Graveyard in Killadoon

In pasture, on a W-facing slope, immediately to the S of Killadoon church (SL034-131001-). In 1836 'an old burial place' was recorded in the townland of Killadoon and associated with the church (OSL, 246). No burials or grave-markers are evident. There is, however, a semicircular area (22m E-W; 17m N-S), enclosed E-S by a low earthen bank (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.5m) and SW-W by a scarp (H c. 2m), immediately S of the church which could be the remains of the graveyard. The interior of this area slopes down to the W. An elongated mound (long axis NE-SW) is evident in the NE quadrant and a low linear earthen bank (L 25m) extends out to the SW from the SW edge. No graveyard is indicated here on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, while the area immediately to the N of the church is indicated as a formal walled garden.
