What is recorded here

Indicated is a graveyard in County Monaghan where the Church of Ireland church of St Salvator stands inside a walled rectangle overlooking Glaslough Lake. The wall dates to 1742, but John Connell’s headstone, dated 1671, leans outside the west tower, proving the place swallowed time before it had a border. Stones dot the shelf like teeth in a forgotten mouth, each one a life that stopped resisting the lake’s pull.

Situated on a shelf of an E-facing overlooking Glaslough Lake, which is c. 70m to the E. The Church of Ireland church of St Salvator (MO007-014001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 40m NNE-SSW) that was enclosed with a wall in 1742. All the headstones have been recorded (McMahon and Cowan 1978), including that of John Connell (MO007-014004-) dated 1671 outside the W wall of the church tower.
