What is recorded here

In undulating pastureland. This roughly subrectangular graveyard (c. 53m N-S; c. 41m E-W) is enclosed by a modern stone wall. The remains of a medieval church (GA116-084----) occupy its N sector. On inspection, the earliest burials dated to the 20th century. A children's burial ground (GA116-084003-) is also associated. A number of architectural fragments from the church have been re-set into the external face of the enclosing wall. They include two stone heads, which were probably the stops of the moulding over the original doorway or one of the windows, and the sillstone of a window. These features were brought to our attention by Dr C. Cunniffe.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA116-084001
