Graveyard in Garraí Na Dtor

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Garraí Na Dtor hides a lost church and graveyard beside a cross-roads near Lispole. No stone, ditch or marker remains visible, yet the place still carries the shape of buried prayer. Forgetting has not erased it; it has only removed the parts that can be pointed at.
An tSean-eaglais: An Seabhac (1939, 173) recorded the location of a church (KE054-031----) and possibly a graveyard (KE054-031001-) here at a cross-roads about 1.5km E of Lispole village. There is no visible trace of either feature. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 973. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 7 August 2013

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.
