What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a hill in County Offaly, its long narrow church walls still rising beside a stone enclosure crowded with marked and unmarked stones. The gable touches the sky while the north wall bends under grass, suggesting a late medieval house where a priest may have lived above the chapel. Eighteenth-century headstones cluster among older unnamed markers, witnessing centuries of burial beneath open countryside. Two broken pieces of a rotary quern stone lie embedded in the south wall, proving the graveyard also served the living long before death claimed it.

In pasture on top of a hill with good views of undulating countryside. Remains of a long narrow rectangular church (OF032-005001-) with gable surviving to full height and partial remains of E and S walls with N wall surviving 3m high. Located in the centre of a large irregular shaped graveyard enclosed by a stone wall. There are several 18th-century headstones along with unmarked gravestones probably of an earlier date. Two portions of a rotary quern stone were found along the external face of the S wall. Probable late medieval church with two storey priest accommodation at W end. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
