What is recorded here
Grave Yard stands on a slight rise at the northern edge of a Meath plateau, its western church gable still watching a rectangular field bounded by stone walls. Headstones clustered near that gable mark lives lost between 1800 and 1900, while the empty ground beyond invites wonder about earlier neighbours. The surrounding fields and preserved church shape remain the visible proof that this was a working centre of local memory.
Located on a slight E-W rise, which is at the N edge of a plateau, and it is surrounded by the field system (ME042-011----). The W gable of the church (ME042-012----) survives at the W edge of a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 37m E-W; c. 25-30m N-S) defined by masonry walls. The few headstones are clustered around the W edge of the graveyard and date from c. 1800 to c. 1900. Archaeological testing (05E0312) by C. Duffy c. 100m to the NE produced no related material (excavations.ie 2005:1140).
