What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Carlow holds a ruined east-west church inside a five-course granite wall, waiting beside a castle and possible abbey. New pseudo-Celtic crosses still appear among old stones, proving the dead have not stopped claiming the place. The cross-inscribed pillar stands southeast of the church like a marker forgotten by everyone else.

Square-shaped graveyard (map dims. Max N-S c. 37m; max E-W c. 36m) with foundations of simple rectangular church (CW004-083001-) aligned E-W just N of centre. The graveyard is enclosed by a granite dry-stone wall, 5 courses high with rounded angles. A cross-inscribed pillar (CW004-038003-) is located immediately SE of the church and there is portion of a moulded granite jamb in the graveyard. There are a number of 20th-century headstones with pseudo-Celtic crosses at the apex of the headstone in the graveyard, mostly located N and SE of the church, with some headstones on the raised interior. The most recent burial identified was in 2002. Adjacent to castle (CW004-036----) and possible abbey (CW004-037----). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 7 June 2017
