What is recorded here

Indicated is a rectangular graveyard in County Kilkenny, Ireland, where a medieval church sits at the centre inside a stone wall. Three cross-inscribed pillars now stand within the church, while two clochans and a possible buried font remain nearby or hidden. The place still holds the shape of old rites, even when some of its parts have disappeared from sight.

A rectangular graveyard (dims. 26m N-S; 43m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall. The medieval church (KK033-021001-) is centrally placed within the graveyard. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 121), there are two clochans (KK033-021005-; KK033-021006-) located W of the graveyard, one of which (KK033-021005-) is visible as a cairn. Carrigan (ibid.), also notes a font (KK033-021004-) within the graveyard, though currently unlocated, and a stoup (KK033-021007-) which is outside the W gable of the church. There are three cross-inscribed pillars (KK033-021003-; KK033-021009-; KK033-021010-), all currently within the church. Crawford (1925, 57) mentions, 'several carved or shaped stones have been found near the church'. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 23 January 2017
