What is recorded here

Situated in a graveyard (DU025-003005-) on a steep grass-covered knoll, off the Pine Forest Road. A cemetery watchtower built to prevent the robbery of freshly dug graves which consists of a two storey high cylindrical tower (ext. diam. 3.2m), with a parapet level marked by an offset. It is built of roughly coursed granite masonry. There is a lintelled doorway now blocked in the N. The interior is lit by narrow, square-headed opes. Within the graveyard are the remains of Cruagh church (DU023-003001-) and a roughly square-shaped granite font (DU025-003002-). In the 19th century a Rathdown type graveslab (DU025-003004-) showing concentric circles, was discovered here but it has since disappeared (O'Reilly 1901, 184-155; Crawford 1913, 167; Ó hÉailidhe 1957, 86).
