What is recorded here
Situated on a hillock with a small SE-NW stream and St Ultan's well (ME048-026----) c. 100m to the NE. The site of the parish church of Rathcore (ME048-002----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 68m NW-SE; c. 57m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls and hedges, but according to the Dopping visitation (1682-5) it was not enclosed in the late 17th century (Ellison 1972, 9). The font (ME048-002002-) which was in the graveyard (Roe 1968, 126) is now kept in the porch of the Church of Ireland church. The headstones date largely from c. 1780 to the present, but one has a 17th century date (ME048-002004-), and the cross (ME048-002003-) is also in the graveyard.
