What is recorded here

Grave Yd is a living five-sided graveyard on a low Clare rise, still receiving burials after a 1990s expansion. Its ivy-covered drystone wall holds plain uprights, family vaults and iron crosses around a medieval church, while rubble piles hint at older building work. The place has stood through marsh, pasture and memory, marking death as an ordinary part of the local landscape rather than a forgotten relic.

On a low rise in rolling pasture and marshy scrub. Indicated on the 1840 and 1916 eds. OS 6-inch maps. A five-sided graveyard (29m N-S; 79m E-W) surrounding a medieval church (CL015-027001-), entered by a gate and stile at E. The enclosing stone wall is drystone-built (H 1.25-1.6m; T at base 1m) and partially covered in ivy. The graves within the enclosure are concentrated to the NE corner and S of the church and comprise plain unmarked uprights, family vaults, iron crosses and plain 20th century graveslabs. Several piles of rubble containing architectural fragments are present within the graveyard. The graveyard was expanded to the north in the 1990s and is still in use. St Augustine’s Well (CL015-028----) is c. 170m to the NE. Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Eve Campbell Date of upload: 28 June 2023
