What is recorded here

A rectangular graveyard (c. 45m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall. In the centre are the fragmentary remains of Knockmore Abbey (SL044-003001-), a Carmelite foundation. The graveyard is still in use. It contains many 19th- and 20th-century headstones, and some low uninscribed grave-markers, including some which are reused moulded stones from the friary (see SL044-003001-). There is one chest-tomb near the SE corner.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL044-003003
