What is recorded here

Burial Ground is a graveyard in Ballyard, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a low rise at the base of a west-facing slope, enclosed by a stone wall with a stream to the south, a holy well to the southeast and a bullaun stone to the northeast. Architectural fragments from a late medieval church lie in the southwest sector or serve as grave surrounds. An octagonal limestone stoup that rested on a four-clustered column is now in the grounds of Newport church.

Situated at the base of a W-facing slope with a stream immediately to the S, a holy well (TN031-010002-) to the SE and a bullaun stone (TN031-009----) to the NE. Present remains consist of a low rise of ground where the church (TN031-010001-) was located in the centre of a graveyard enclosed by a stone wall. Several architectural fragments are located in the SW sector of the graveyard and others are reused as grave surrounds. Berry (1904, 99-110) described the church as surviving to foundation level only measuring internally 60ft x 26ft (18m x 8.7m) with architectural fragments of a late medieval date scattered around the graveyard. An octagonal-shaped limestone stoup or font (TN031-010004-/TN037-046----) which rested on a four-clustered column is now located in the grounds of Newport RC church. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
