Grave Yard (Disused) — Ballybrack

Graveyard

Why this matters

A local ancient tomb; wider significance not recorded.

What is recorded here

Located on the E facing slope of rising ground in undulating countryside. Only the wall footings survive of a small church (OF045-007001-) built with large limestone boulders with rubble infill. Immediately to the SW are the remains of an irregular shaped enclosure defined by a scarp with loosely piled rubble on top. Portions of five quern stones were discovered amongst the rubble. No headstones or grave-markers were visible inside the enclosure (OF045-007002-) which defines the extent of the graveyard. Probable early medieval church with an enclosure that defines the extent of the medieval graveyard. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
