Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Leitrim holds a subrectangular enclosure of mortared stone walls, measuring 53m east-west and narrowing from 24m to 18.3m north-south. It claims the site of an early church reputedly founded by St Patrick and the medieval parish church of Drumlease, yet no visible evidence of that antiquity remains. The lower shoulder of a drumlin ridge still drops into shadow at dusk, inviting wonder about what buried hands and prayers may have marked the soil before the walls rose.
Located on a lower shoulder at the E end of a drumlin ridge. The site of an early church reputedly founded by St Patrick and the site of the medieval parish church of Drumlease (LE015-071001-) are within a subrectangular graveyard (dims 53m E-W; 24m N-S at E; 18.3m N-S at W) defined by mortared stone walls, but there is no visible evidence of an antiquity.
