What is recorded here
Indicated is a rectangular graveyard in County Louth holding the remains of a late medieval church and four holy water stoups that probably date from the same period. Eighteenth-century headstones, including one for James Branagan from 1719, mark the later burial use. The place is small enough to walk in minutes but old enough to have outlived the church that gave it shape.
Rectangular shaped graveyard (map dims. L 72m; Wth 30m) with remains of late medieval church (LH024-001001-) in SW half. Four holy water stoups (LH024-001002-, LH024-001004-, LH024-001005-, LH024-001006-) probably late medieval in date, located here, close to the Catholic church. Eight 18th century headstones recorded when inspected by ASI in 1967, the earliest of which dates to 1719 and is dedicated to James Branagan.
