What is recorded here

Indicated is a subcircular graveyard on a rise in County Leitrim, holding eighteenth-century headstones within a boundary of masonry and collapsed earth. Its stones were thrown up from inside rather than brought from elsewhere, suggesting the dead helped build the wall that surrounds them. The place still marks the difference between a temporary field and a remembered life.

Situated on a rise in a low-lying, undulating landscape. The graveyard (LE036-021001-) is with a subcircular enclosure (int. dims 85m N-S; 69m E-W) defined by a masonry wall NW-SE and by an earthen bank topped with a collapsed stone wall elsewhere. It has headstones dating from the 18th century. Archaeological supervision (00E0867) of the replacement of the perimeter with a masonry wall NE-SE demonstrated that it was a slight earth and stone bank and the stones had been thrown up from inside. However, it produced no dateable material (Meenan 2001, 2002). Compiled by Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 October 2010 Amended: 7 January 2020
