What is recorded here
Kilruane Church (in Ruins) is a graveyard in Kilruane, County Tipperary, Ireland. The church site stands on the north side of a trapezoidal graveyard, southeast of a ruinous nineteenth-century Protestant church. About sixty metres south of the Protestant church tower, a limestone outcrop three metres by two point two five metres protrudes above the graveyard surface. An oval depression on the east side of this outcrop appears to be a bullaun, though the surface is very weathered.
