What is recorded here

Situated on the W side of a small N-S fold in a level landscape. The site of the medieval parish church of Rodanstown (ME049-021----) is within an oval graveyard (dims c. 55m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by an earthen bank SE-W-NW and by a masonry wall NW-E-SE where it is skirted by a public road. The headstones date largely from c. 1750 to c. 1910 with some newer headstones from the 1970s. The font from this graveyard is now at Milltown (ME017-036----) near Kells. Archaeological testing (20E0681) by D. Shine c. 150m to the NW at the closest point produced no related material (excavations.ie 2020:354).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME049-021001
