What is recorded here

Graveyard in Boherash stands immediately north of Glanworth village, a rectangular stone-walled field holding burials from 1724 onward and the ruined parish church of Glanworth in its northwest quadrant. Medival jambs and altar tombs lie scattered among low uninscribed markers, evidence that people kept returning to this exact ground across centuries. The gateway at the north end of the west wall still admits occasional mourners, while the remains of an earlier church wait just outside the southeast corner, suggesting the site has absorbed at least two layers of worship and loss.
