What is recorded here

The fortified parish church (ME037-019----) of Dunsany is within a D-shaped graveyard (dims 68m E-W; 41m N-S) with the straight side at S where it is defined by an inner fosse (Wth 5.3m; int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.5-1m) and outer bank (Wth c. 5m; ext. H 0.2m). Elsewhere the perimeter is defined by an outer scarp at W (Wth 2m; H 1.4m), which decreases around to N (Wth 5.5m; H 0.7m) and fades away on the E side. The headstones date generally from c. 1720 to c. 1950 with a few later inscriptions. The churchyard cross (ME037-019003-) is in the graveyard outside the N doorway of the church.
