What is recorded here

Knockannaholla Grave Yard sits atop a low hill overlooking the Greanagh river, enclosing twenty-three metres of forgotten lives within a mortared stone wall. Dense vegetation now swallows the northeast corner while low stones along the south edge wait for someone to read their lost names. The disused trackway from the road has vanished under grass, leaving only a recent stile and a dilapidated iron gate to mark where people once walked toward death.
Atop low hill, overlooking Greanagh river to E; known locally as Greanagh graveyard. Sub-oval area (23m E-W; 33m N-S) enclosed by mortared stone wall (H c. 1.1m).

Two headstones noted dating to mid-20th century; many low stones to S may be gravemarkers. Trackway, shown on 1923 OS 6-inch map leading to graveyard from road to S, now disused and overgrown.
