What is recorded here

Aghaterry Graveyard is an unlocated burial ground within Ballyconra, County Laois, where a substantial church ruin still stands beside the graves. Carrigan described a strong grouted wall, three feet three inches thick, enclosing three quarters of an Irish acre, but that ancient boundary is now broken almost to the foundations. The graveyard and church occupy only the south-western third behind a modern wall, leaving the rest of the old enclosure exposed.

Unlocated graveyard within townland described by Carrigan as 'barony Church, in the southern extremity of the townland of Ballyconra, is a very substantial ruin. It stands within an ancient enclosure (LA031-010003-), three quarters of an Irish acre in area, round which ran a strong grouted wall 3 ft. 3 in. thick, but now broken down almost to the foundations. The graveyard (LA031-010002-) and church at present occupy only the south-western portion - about one-third-of the enclosed area, and are surrounded by a modern wall, the remainder of the original enclosure is now unprotected' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 310).
