What is recorded here

Random coursed sandstone gateway, built c.1815, comprising of round-headed arch with cut stone voussoirs, surmounted by limestone cornice with thirteen corbels decorated with carved faces and a carved plaque to both elevations. Flanked by random rubble sidewalls with modern stone steps. Walls may contain fabric from an earlier period. Wrought-iron gate to gateway. Various upright and recumbent grave markers to graveyard.
This gateway creates a formal entrance to Killaderry graveyard. The plaques exhibit skilled craftsmanship in their carved depictions of death and the resurrection. The carving of faces on the thirteen corbels is also worthy of note. The addition of modern steps indicates the continual use of the graveyard and therefore its significance within the community.
