What is recorded here

Grave Yard (Disused) holds a small church and irregular burial enclosure on an east-facing slope in County Offaly. The church used large limestone boulders with rubble infill, while the graveyard keeps a scarp topped with loose stones and fragments of five quern stones. No headstones remain visible, but the shape of the place still separates the living road from the dead ground beneath it.

Located on the E facing slope of rising ground in undulating countryside. Only the wall footings survive of a small church (OF045-007001-) built with large limestone boulders with rubble infill. Immediately to the SW are the remains of an irregular shaped enclosure defined by a scarp with loosely piled rubble on top. Portions of five quern stones were discovered amongst the rubble. No headstones or grave-markers were visible inside the enclosure (OF045-007002-) which defines the extent of the graveyard. Probable early medieval church with an enclosure that defines the extent of the medieval graveyard. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
