What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Offaly holds a ruined church where south and west rubble walls still stand beside raised headstones from the 18th and 19th centuries. Burials remain visible inside the church, while dense growth hides an older 17th-century graveslab near the south wall. The place preserves death across centuries in one small rectangle of earth and stone.

Raised rectangular graveyard with 18th and 19th-century headstones. 17th-century graveslab (OF026-017003-) near S wall of graveyard unlocated due to dense overgrowth.
