Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Limerick holds the Clonshire parish church known as Templenacille inside a rectangular stone boundary measuring sixty-five by forty metres. Two ancient cross shafts still stood there when Lewis wrote in 1837, proving the ground had served death and memory long before the post-1700 wall closed the space. The church occupies the south quadrant while the entrance gate opens on the south wall, creating a small complete world where living worship and buried time share one breath.

The graveyard contained the shafts of two very ancient crosses (LI021-029003-/004-) in 1834 (Lewis 1837, 380).
