Churchyard in Diamor

Churchyard

What is recorded here

Diamor holds a rectangular churchyard where grass-covered banks and a sharp southern scarp mark the possible Penal church of Clonibreny. The northern bank has a six-metre gap, perhaps the entrance used when worship still needed a visible door. No burial evidence has appeared, yet the preserved shape suggests people valued the boundary enough to keep it clear.
The possible Penal church of Clonibreny (ME015-082----) is within a rectangular enclosure (dims 35m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by grass-covered earthen banks (at N: Wth 3m; H 0.2-0.4m) and scarps (at S: H 1.5m) with an entrance gap (Wth 6m) towards the W end of the bank at N. The perimeter at S extends c. 30m further W, but there is no evidence of burial in the grass-covered enclosure. Date of upload: 3 June, 2014
