What is recorded here
Associated with the church (GA103-118001-) which is part of an important early monastic site at Drumacoo (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 34). This roughly quadrangular graveyard (c. 60m E-W; c. 50m N-S) is enclosed by a drystone wall. Access is gained at the S end of the E wall. Graveslabs date from the 17th century onwards. A section of the graveyard, to the W of the 19th-century mausoleum (GA103-118004-) that was built against the E end of the N wall of the church, was enclosed for the burial of members of the St George family (Leask 1960, 73). A cross-slab (GA103-118008-) is also associated.
