What is recorded here
Situated on a broad, low hill with the W edge of the reclaimed Little Lagore Lough, an oval area (dims c. 1.25km E-W; c. 0.5km N-S), c. 500m to the E. The headwaters of an E-W stream that leads into the SE-NW Skane River are c. 400m to the SW. The site of the early church founded by St Seachnall or Secundus (ME044-033002-) and the remains of the medieval parish church that succeeded it are within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 60m E-W) defined by masonry walls, with trees inside the perimeter at N and E, and a bank inside the perimeter at N. The headstones date mostly from 1743 to the present, but a graveslab (ME044-033006-) commemorating Noah Webb dated 1696 is at the SW angle of the graveyard.
