What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on high ground in County Limerick, overlooking a wide countryside and a large quarry that cuts through the western and northern horizon. Two bell-towers rise at its north edge, one medieval and one post-1700, while stone obelisks and a mausoleum mark the families who slept beneath the grass. The dead have watched the quarry grow and the living pass by for centuries, unchanged by the noise of men taking stone from the earth.

Only the W bell-tower of the medieval church (LI013-062001-) remains upstanding with bell-tower of post-1700 C of I church standing immediately to N both of which are located in the N quadrant of a large rectangular-shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 53m NW-SE; 36m E-W). the graveyard is enclosed by a post-1700 stone wall with entrance gate in centre of SE wall. Large 19th century obelisk erected to the memory of the Howley family stands in N corner of graveyard.
