What is recorded here
Knocklishen Beg graveyard holds two small granite crosses and a basin bullaun beside its church. The broken western wall and raised ground suggest people kept returning to bury, remember, and perhaps drink from that old stone.
Sub-rectangular shaped, slightly raised area (map dims. 35m N-S; 22m E-W), extends N of church (CW004-005001-). Traces of discontinuous enclosing wall are visible at W and NW. Two small plain granite crosses (CW004-005003- and CW004-005004-) and a single basin bullaun (CW004-005005-) present in graveyard.
