What is recorded here
Located towards the top of the NE-facing slope of a low NW-SE ridge. The site of the medieval church of Knockmark (ME044-001----) is within a D-shaped graveyard (max. dims c. 90m WNW-ESE; c. 50m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls, with the straight sides at W and S and a road curving around the perimeter NW-E-ESE. The headstones date from c. 1780 to the present. The graveslab (ME044-001002-) is in the graveyard but the font (ME044-001003-) is no longer present. Archaeological testing (22E0048) by I. Russell c. 90m to the NW at the closest point produced no related material (excavations.ie 2022:016).
