What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a walled square on a steep Dublin knoll, holding the remains of Cruagh Church, a granite font, a watchtower and an inscribed pillar stone. It is not a hidden cache or abandoned game; it is a burial place where people lived, believed and died. The chamber of awards may have lured you, but the chamber of graves asks whether you can sit with death instead of escaping it.
Situated on a steep grass-covered knoll, off the Pine Forest Road. A walled graveyard square in plan (NW-SE 43m, SW-NE 43m). Within the graveyard is the remains of Cruagh Church (DU025-003001-), a roughly square granite font (DU025-003002-), a cemetery watchtower (DU025-003003-) and an inscribed pillar stone or standing stone DU025-003004-) (O'Reilly 1901, 184-155; Crawford 1913, 167; Ó hÉailidhe 1957, 86).
