What is recorded here
Knigh Church (in Ruins) is a graveyard in Knigh, County Tipperary, Ireland. The church stood at the north end of the roughly rectangular graveyard, which measured 60 metres north to south and 53 metres east to west inside a limestone wall holding 18th and 19th-century memorials. It appears in the 1302 ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe, while the 1615 Royal Visitation described it as ruined with no chancel.
