What is recorded here

A narrow earthen bank still marks the Aghnacross graveyard beside the river, rising one metre wide and just over a metre high on its inner face. It stretches from northeast to southeast through the undulating countryside, while no other remains are visible. The measure suggests a small, deliberate boundary rather than a forgotten mound, perhaps keeping sacred ground separate from the living path.

Situated beside river in undulating countryside. The graveyard (LA030-011002-) is defined by an earthen bank, (Wth c. 1m, int. H c. 1.1m, ext. H c. 0.5m) from NE to SE. No visible remains elsewhere. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007
