What is recorded here

Grave Yd. holds a nineteenth-century Church of Ireland church built above the sixth-century monastery of St. Finan. Inside the church an early Christian cross-slab still displays spiral-headed crosses in the angles of a large double-lined cross, while outside a thirteenth-century window stone has been reused as a headstone. The yard ties together Christian foundation, medieval building and later burial in one small place.
