What is recorded here

Situated in a flat urban site to the NE of the junction of Carrickbrennan Road and Mounttown Road Upper. A trapezoidal walled graveyard (N-S 60.2m, E-W 68.8m) accessed through a pointed arched gateway off the Carrrickbrennan Road N of Monkstown Castlefarm. Within the site are 18th and 19th century memorials. In the interior of the graveyard the W gable of the medieval church (DU023-013001-) is incorporated into a 17th century charnel-house (DU023-013003-; Turner 1983, 28-29). The site occupies the location of an earlier site associated with the 6th century St. Mochonna, who was attached to the early monastery of Hompatrick, Skerries (Ball 1902, 41).
