What is recorded here

Grave Yard (Disused) lies beside a church in County Longford, Ireland. It may have served the Brown family of Ballinamore Castle before they lost their lands in the late 17th century. The wall is gone except for footings, but the iron gate and piers still stand beside unnamed graves, preserving a private loss that public memory forgot.

Associated with a church (LF018-039----). This approximately oval-shaped graveyard (37m N-S; 29m E-W) comprises a raised area that was formerly enclosed by a stone wall of which only the footings remain. However, the entrance, wrought-iron gate and piers are still upstanding. A number of low upright grave-markers are visible but there are no inscribed memorials. It may have been the private graveyard of the Brown family of Ballinamore Castle (LF018-038001-), which is c. 440m to the NW, and it may have been abandoned in the late 17th century when the family lost ownership of their lands in this area. A wall monument (LF018-039003-) within the church commemorates Sir Richard Brown and his wife. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
