What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a mortared oval beside a ruined Religious House possibly belonging to the Knights Hospitallers, with a ruined church stretching across its northern centre and burials crowded south of it. The place still holds shape after centuries: a kept border, a fallen worship room, and marks new enough to read in nineteenth-century stone. Whatever lived around it has mostly withdrawn into soil and silence, leaving the barrow country to remember through stone rather than witness.

In level mixed tillage and pasture on the N edge of a farmyard some 700m E of the S-flowing River Barrow. A ruined Religious House (KD030-005----), possibly belonging to the Knights Hospitallers, stands c. 40m to the SW and a ruined gatehouse (KD030-007001-) and possible bawn (KD030-007002-) stand c. 60m to the SSE. A well-maintained oval area (c. 45m N-S; c. 36m E-W) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall. A ruined church (KD030-006----) occupies almost the full width of the graveyard just N of centre. Burials are concentrated to the S of the church and legible gravemarkers date from the 19th-century. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 30 September 2013
