Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a graveyard in Lissagallan, County Roscommon, Ireland. It occupies a south-facing ridge where slight traces of a rectangular church remain inside a wedge-shaped enclosure bounded by masonry walls. The site served as a chapel-of-ease to Fuerty and local tradition identifies it as the burial ground for the Mac Dermot Gall branch of the Mac Dermot dynasty. Two stone crosses, including an unusual T-shaped cross, stand among graves marked by nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones.
The church of Ardkieran (RO035-074001-) was a chapel-of-ease to Fuerty (RO039-063001-) and is located on a broad ridge. There are slight traces of a rectangular structure at the centre of a wedge-shaped graveyard (dims 28m E-W at S to 69m E-W at N; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls.
