What is recorded here

The graveyard in Loughkent Lower is in County Tipperary, Ireland. It measures 90 metres from north to south and 57 metres from east to west, surrounding a medieval church positioned south of the centre. A 1.2 metre high stone wall encloses the site, though the west wall appears newer than the others because it extends 4 metres further west. Two possible bullaun stones are incorporated into that west wall, while the earliest surviving headstones from the 18th and 19th centuries cluster inside the church itself.

In gently undulating terrain surrounded to the N, E and S by pasture and by tillage across the road to the W. An irregularly shaped graveyard (dims. 90m N–S; 57m E–W) with a medieval church (TS069-062----) located S of centre within the interior. The graveyard, which White (1892, 16) describes as being 'well enclosed', is defined by a stone wall (H 1.2m). The W wall of the graveyard appears to have been extended westward by 4m. The stone wall on the W side is of more recent construction than the wall enclosing the other sides and there is a low bank in the interior which runs parallel to the W wall which appears to be the grass-covered remains of an earlier wall. Within the graveyard the earliest headstones, dating to the 18th and 19th-century are within the church interior and clustered S of the church. There are two possible bullaun stones (TS069-062002-; TS069-062003-) incorporated into the W wall of the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 29 September 2011
