What is recorded here
Corbally Burial Ground is a church in Edmondstown (farbill By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. Situated on a low ridge in pasture with good views of the surrounding landscape, the site lies within the centre of the Corbally graveyard. A 1983 description identified a possible church site as a roughly rectangular area defined by the collapsed remains of the west, north and south walls, with a stony mound appearing to be the remains of the west wall. Traces of the north and south walls were also present, while any surviving portions of the east wall were obscured by dense scrub, and occasional rough stones and small boulders marked burials in the vicinity.

OS 6-inch map or the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Possible church site described in 1983 as a roughly rectangular shaped area defined by the collapsed remains of the W, N and S walls. A stony mound (approx. L 7m; Wth 1.5-2m) appears to be the remains of the W wall. Traces of the N and S walls (min. L 7-8m) are also present. Any surviving portions of the E wall are obscured by dense scrub. Occasional rough stones and small boulders mark burials in the vicinity. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography due to tree cover within the graveyard.
