What is recorded here
Freestanding Victorian tabernacle monument on rectangular plan, erected c.1841, consisting of four tapering posts, square in plan, having Doric capitals over supporting entablature over with miniature pediments to ends and antefixae to the corners. Located in earlier graveyard with remains of early church and to the west of Ballynacarrigy.
A interesting and curious early Victorian tabernacle monument, which is a conspicuous feature in the landscape to the west of Ballynacarrigy. It is dated 1841 but does not have an inscription that could explain the purpose of this unusual mid nineteenth-century feature. This monument is set in an early graveyard containing the foundations of a early church, probably late-medieval in date. The graveyard contains a number of finely carved grave markers, mainly dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, some of which are of artistic merit.
