What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Monaghan is an irregular graveyard measuring about 105m north-south and 60m east-west. Tradition credits Victor, made bishop by St. Patrick, with founding its church, and the shrine of St Adamnan left here in AD 830. Rebuilt in 1641 after ruin in 1622, the church site now holds no visible trace, leaving the graveyard to keep what the land once surrendered.
