What is recorded here
Grave Yd. is a triangular Kerry graveyard where the oldest visible markers date to the 1840s, though the church enclosure appears on the 1846 map. A chest-tomb with a coat of arms sits west of the church, suggesting one family wanted to be remembered longer than the others. The stone wall still gives the place its shape, while the dead keep what the survey left unnamed.
A roughly triangular area (c. 80m E-W; c. 50m N-S at the E end) enclosed by a stone wall with the main entrance at W. There is a smaller entrance for pedestrians in the N side. The oldest gravemarkers noted date to the 1840s. A chest-tomb bearing a coat of arms is to the W of the church. The graveyard is not named on the 1846 OS 6-inch map although a triangular enclosure around the church is indicated.
