What is recorded here
Ballyorgan Church stands in the centre of a rectangular graveyard in County Limerick, where a post-1700 stone wall still holds the dead close to the living road. The wall has no record of the hands that stacked its stones, but those hands may have carried grief, pride or fear into every joint. The church remains the heart of the place, not a later addition forced upon it.
Ballyorgan Church (LI056-039001-) stands in centre of graveyard which consists of a rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 28m N-S x 47m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall with entrance gate at E.
