What is recorded here

Situated on a level landscape with a small W-E valley c. 100m to the N. The parish church of Macetown (ME032-044----) is within a neglected and overgrown graveyard (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 32m NW-SE at NE to c. 40m NW-SE at SW) defined by masonry walls. According to Dopping's visitation (1682-5) the graveyard was fenced at that time (Ellison 1971, 37). One piece of a window surround (H 0.5m) with two hollow chamfers was re-used as a grave-marker, but the mantel of a fireplace (ME032-044002-) which was in the graveyard is no longer present.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME032-044001
