A medieval graveyard; wider significance not recorded.
What is recorded here
On a prominent E-W ridge running along the S bank of the River Nore. The slight elevation gives a commanding view across the Nore valley in all directions and over the fording point of the river. The medieval church of Threecastle (Odagh) (KK014-025003-), with its residential tower (KK014-025004-), is situated in the N portion of a roughly rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 55m N-S; c. 35m E-W in the N, tapering to c. 24m in the S). Within the graveyard Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 268) noted a fragment of a graveslab (KK014-025008-)dated c. 1600 and Buggy (1969, 15) noted a number of graveslab fragments (KK014-025009- to KK014-025012-), including one (KK014-025009-) possibly dating to the 13th/14th century.
