What is recorded here

Taylor and Skinner charted the graveyard in 1777, marking it before the modern church rose. An irregular mound in the north-east corner may hide the older building where people first gathered to mourn. The dead have watched County Louth since then, patient beneath the grass while the living came and went.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 Graveyard marked on Taylor and Skinner's map of 1777. Present church modern, but irregular mound in NNE corner of graveyard probably site of earlier church. (CLAJ 1914, 236; CLAJ 1941, 12)
