What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a rectangular graveyard in County Limerick, Ireland, holding the remains of a medieval chapel and touching the old fort of Duntryleague. Its post-1700 stone wall and western gate mark a place where worship, burial and memory likely crossed for centuries. The exact chapel location remains uncertain, but the graveyard itself still stands as a quiet container for that lost religious life.
The medieval chapel (LI049-063002-) of Duntryleague may have stood inside the graveyard which consists of a roughly rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 45m N-S x 56m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall with entrance gate at W. The fort (LI049-063004-) of Duntryleague lies immediately to ENE of graveyard. It is possible that the chapel may have stood inside the fort immediately to NE or elsewhere within the townland of Duntryleague.
