What is recorded here

The graveyard in Carrowleigh, Rathgormuck is in County Waterford, Ireland. It occupies a northeast-facing slope beside the parish church of Rathgormuck. A stone-clad earthen bank forms a triangular boundary measuring about 60 metres east-west and 80 metres north-south, though a northeast-southwest roadway may have cut diagonally across the northwest corner. A rectangular bullaun stone is built into the wall at the roadside, and a tower house stands about 100 metres to the north.
