What is recorded here
Two gable-fronted mausolea, built c.1800, having stone roofs on projecting eaves course, rubble stone walls, painted or limewashed to one, and with round-arch doorway to one gable of each. Square-headed openings to north and west sides of unrendered mausoleum, interior having plaque and altar. Rendered mausoleum has limewashed walls and two grave-markers to interior. Mausolea stand within rectangular-plan graveyard with rendered walls and gateway having square-plan piers with stone cross finials and decorative metal gate, and with iron steps over wall to east. Field-stone boundary wall with field-stone copings to east, west and south.
These two mausolea are rare of their type and commemorate the MacLoone family of "The Laurels" and the Right Rev Mgr John Kennedy. The structures are simple in form, but their arched entrances and open interiors are unusual. The graveyard is an attractive landscape feature that has been well maintained.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
