Situated on the NE-SW ridge of Dowth. The parish church of Dowth (ME020-019----) is in a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 60-65m E-W; c. 35-40m N-S) defined by masonry walls. The graveyard walls have been built since 1682-5 when Dopping describes the graveyard as unenclosed (Ellison 1973, 5). Archaeological monitoring (E002470) during 2006 of a road surface to the graveyard from the E produced evidence of two post-medieval walls (Russell 2007).
