What is recorded here
Thirty metres northeast of the Cistercian abbey, a rectangular grave yard holds late-medieval slabs and a 17th-century memorial beneath a 19th-century stone wall. It is no longer used, yet the buried line remains visible: several lives marked across centuries, one high cross removed to Abbeyshrule, and quiet land kept separate from the church by distance and boundary.
Circa 30m to the NE of the Cistercian abbey (LF023-113----). This rectangular burial ground(100m NE-SW; 62m NW-SE) is enclosed by a 19th-century stone wall. It is no longer is use and memorials date from the 17th to the 20th centuries. A possible cross-slab (LF023-113003-), four late-medieval graveslabs (LF023-113004-, LF023-113010-, LF023-113011-, LF023-113012-), an architectural fragment (LF023-113005-) and a 17th-century graveslab (LF023-113007-) are located within it. A high cross (LF023-113006-) formerly located here was moved to the sacristy of the RC church in Abbeyshrule (see LF023-129----).
