What is recorded here
Indicated is a walled graveyard on a south-facing slope where two lakes glow beneath the horizon and a round tower still stands beside the church. Headstones from 1750 mark the old boundary, while newer graves extend north of the carpark. The dead have watched the water shift for centuries, patient as the stone cross in the gate.
Situated on the S-facing slope of a broad N-S spur with the northern end of Derrybrick Lough visible to the SE and the northern end of Drumlane Lough visible to the SW, both of which are at the NW edge of the Lough Oughter complex of lakes. The church (CV014-028003-) and round tower (CV014-028002-) are within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 47m E-W) defined by masonry walls with headstones dating from c. 1750. There is a record of a cross-inscribed stone (CV014-028006-) in the N pier of the entrance gate. The graveyard has been extended to the N and a new graveyard has been built N of the carpark since 2005 (OSAP).
