What is recorded here
Grave Yard is a graveyard in Athasselabbey North, County Tipperary, Ireland. The cloister and nave of Athassel abbey have been used for burials. A headstone dated 1784 sits inside the ruined church east of the north doorway, while a salvaged sandstone fragment projects twenty centimetres above the ground just outside that same entrance. Most surviving markers cluster in the south-east quadrant and date from the nineteenth century.
