What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Moylagh in County Meath holds a medieval parish church inside a D-shaped drystone boundary, wide enough at the north-east to swallow seventy metres of ridge. Theobalt Cut and Rose Moore placed their graveslab within the church itself, while Edmond Maolagh’s marker has vanished and the disc-headed cross lost its head. The stones still stand though memory has slipped through them like water, leaving a place where the dead are named but no longer certain.

The medieval parish church of Moylagh (ME015-032----) is located on a N-S ridge within a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 50m NW-SE at SW to c. 70m NW-SE at NE; c. 35m NE-SW) defined by drystone walls. The head of a disc-headed cross (ME015-032002-) that was within the graveyard (SMR file 1969) is missing. The graveslab of Edmond Maolagh (ME015-032003-) can no longer be identified, but that erected by Theobalt Cut and his wife Rose Moore (ME015-032004-) is within the church.

Medieval parish churchyard, 13th–16th century. The site is significant as a typical example of a medieval ecclesiastical enclosure in the Irish landscape, associated with the former church of Moylagh and reflecting the religious and community life of the period.
