What is recorded here
No church wall or roof survives in that tiny Mounthall graveyard, only a few small rude stones beside the bounds of Cappanarra and Moonanelly. The lost building was probably wooden, which means rain, fire or time may have taken it completely while the graves stayed behind. People may have stopped using it long before memory reached it, leaving a place where the dead are marked but the house of prayer has vanished.
Unlocated churchyard within the townland of Mounthall situated according to Carrigan on the bounds of Cappanarra and Moonanelly which is measures no more than 15yds. Square. There are no remains of the ancient church (LA011-015004-), which was probably wooden. There are a few small, rude headstones; but no interment has taken place here in living memory (Carrigan 1905, p. 151).
