What is recorded here
Grave Yard is a graveyard in Ballylegan, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies a rock outcrop in undulating terrain, with steep quarry-carved drops west and north of the church walls. The burial ground sits immediately south of the church, measuring about 38 metres north to south and 26 metres east to west, though long grass and brambles hide its exact boundary.
On rock outcrop in undulating terrain. Very steep drop immediately W and N of church walls as a result of large scale quarrying. Graveyard is indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map by a dashed line around a roughly circular area immediately S of the church (TS076-036----). On the latest ed. the graveyard is more irregular in shape (dims. approx. 38m N-S; 26m E-W) and again is indicated by a dashed line. There is no evident boundary for the graveyard and its extent could not be established as the area is badly overgrown with long grass and brambles.
