What is recorded here
Situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. The parish church of Killeagh (ME008-035----), of which there is no visible trace, is in a raised D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 60m E-W) defined by masonry walls with straight sides at N, E and W. There are mature deciduous trees inside the perimeter, and the graveyard has a large collection of headstones dating from c. 1730-1750. It continued in used until c. 1910, but there are no dressed stones from the medieval structure in the graveyard. A small rectangular annexe (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 10m N-S) defined by masonry walls and attached to the N continues to be used for burial up to the present.
