What is recorded here
The graveyard in Knockmaon is in County Waterford, Ireland. It stood on a small east-west ridge of rock outcrop about eighty metres east of the north-south Brickey River, at the south foot of the hillock holding Knockmaon castle. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked it beside the church, but the graveyard has disappeared without trace. Knockmaon tower house stands about one hundred metres to the north.
