What is recorded here

The church in Goldengrove is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It stood on level ground in the north-west quadrant of a roughly square graveyard that climbs from the ridge top to its base. A stone wall encloses the graveyard, which holds nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones and rough stone markers but no older stones or architectural fragments are visible. A holy well lies to the south-east.
Situated at the E end of an E-W ridge with a graveyard positioned partly on top of the ridge and continuing downslope to the base. A holy well (TN040-012003) lies to the SE. A roughly square-shaped graveyard (TN040-012002) surrounded by a stone wall. It is sparsely populated with nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones and some rough stone markers. There are no pre-nineteenth-century headstones visible and there are no architectural fragments in the graveyard or in the wall, though this is largely obscured by ivy. The church was presumably situated on level ground in the NW quadrant of the graveyard at the top of the ridge.
