What is recorded here
Graveyard and site of Church of Ireland church, dating to 1841, comprising two grassy terraces mounted by flights of cut-stone steps, parapets and landings flanked by mature trees providing access to elevated site of former church and flanked by yew trees, to form yew walk. Concrete represent footprint of church, reflecting buttresses to corners and along nave long walls. Road boundary comprises rubble limestone walls with rubble copings, with decorative cast-iron double-leaf gate between detailed carved stone piers, in turn flanked by matching railings on cut-stone plinth. Hedgerows to north, south and west.
This cemetery with its elevated setting and designed landscape elements has a striking visual impact along the roadside. The yew trees, strongly associated with churchyards and cemeteries, define the pathway on a central axis with the former church. The decorative cut-stone piers provide an eye-catching contrast to the rubble stone boundary wall, and demonstrate highly skilled craftsmanship.
