What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Longford holds a late-medieval church and a subrectangular enclosure, with an ESE entrance and memorials from the 18th to 19th centuries. Its wide low bank and external fosse mark a place where people kept returning across generations. The stones outside the boundary suggest the graveyard may have grown when the land around it changed, absorbing new deaths and new memories.

Associated with a late-medieval church (LF027-037001-), this subrectangular graveyard (c. 68m E-W; c. 59m N-S) is enclosed by a wide low bank (Wth 3.1-4m; H 0.1-0.6m; ext. H 0.7-1.4m) of earth and stone and an external fosse (Wth 0.5m; D 0.5-1m). The entrance is at ESE. Memorials dating from the 18th to the 19th centuries are visible both within the graveyard and outside its boundary.
