What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Limerick holds a ruined church and uninscribed markers inside a square limestone wall on a SW-facing slope. The missing 1807 church and the sunken path suggest a busy local faith community that has largely vanished from sight. The intact gateway, stile and scarped edge still shape the place as a remembered boundary rather than an abandoned field.

In pasture, on a SW-facing slope, on W side of public road. Square area (39m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by a mortared limestone wall (H c. 1.4m); breach (Wth c. 1.2m) near S end of W wall. Stile mid-way along E-wall and gateway (Wth 2.7m) at N-end of same. Ruin of church (LI023-053001-) off-centre to S; low, uninscribed gravemarkers to immediate E and S. Scarped edge (max. Wth 2.75m; H 1.25m) defines S-side of graveyard with interior higher than perimeter. Sunken pathway (basal Wth 2.75m; long-axis c. E-W) traverses northern half of interior from gated entrance. No standing remains of C of I church, built in 1807, which formerly stood in N side of yard (Westropp 1904-5, 443). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 15 November 2013
