In the graveyard (KE066-016002-) of Aghadoe church (KE066-016001-) are numerous uninscribed grave-markers mostly located in the W half of the graveyard with a few more scattered in the N part. Some of these may be pre-1700 in date. There are also many inscribed grave-markers which date to the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. Within the church are many large 19th century tombs and other smaller graveslabs. The oldest inscribed graveslab is dated 1706 and it is in the nave of the church beside the window in the S wall.
