Graveyard in Ballymoat, County Wicklow

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. A nave and chancel church (WI024-011001-) of uncoursed rubble. The church now lies within a modern graveyard although about one-third of an earlier circular enclosure (WI024-011002-) still survives, defined at the S and W by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 1m) and by a steep downhill slope at the E. The N portion has been removed. There are several early to mid-eighteenth-century headstones in the graveyard (WI024-011003-).
