What is recorded here
The story of Toberkevin and the castle shadow suggests a place where ordinary burial once touched exceptional power. That is still visible in the shape of the valley, the worn lane, the holy well and the enduring church stones.
On a low E-W pasture ridge. A large roughly rectangular area (c. 62m E-W; c. 45m N-S) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall and rises towards the centre where a ruined church (KD032-013----) stands. The site of a castle (KD032-014---- ) lies just to the E of the graveyard. Legible grave markers date from the 19th-century.
