What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Monaghan sits on a slight southern rise overlooking Burdautein Lough, yet no burial remains visible. A circular whitethorn enclosure, forty metres wide and thirty-seven and a half metres deep, rings the church without gate, bank or ditch. The place is called a graveyard though it shows no grave, an identity inherited rather than proven.
Situated on a slight rise of a S-facing slope overlooking Burdautein Lough. The church (MO011-001001-) is within a circular enclosure (diam. 40m E-W; 37.5m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.3m at N to 1.4m at S, downslope) planted with whitethorn, but there is no evidence of a bank, fosse or entrance. Nor is there any evidence of burial. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 29 November 2016
