What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Nantinan House in County Limerick holds a disused parish church, box tombs and nineteenth-century headstones inside a mortared stone wall. The Fitzgerald vault near the east wall carries the earliest legible date, 1809, while a noticeable dip marks the southwest quadrant. People may have walked the narrow southern passage for generations, carrying grief past cut-stone piers into a place where older churches and buried lives still shape the ground.

In demesne of Nantinan House, approached from public road to S via narrow passage (Wth 6m; L 30m); road gateway flanked by cut-stone piers. Graveyard proper consists of a roughly-square area (54m N-S; 52m E-W) enclosed by a mortared coursed stone wall (H 1.8m). Disused C of I parish church of Nantinan at N end (LI020-056001-), probably built on site of earlier parish church. Noticeable dip in SW quadrant of graveyard. A number of box tombs immediately to S and W of church; earliest legible date is on Fitzgerald vault (1809) near S end of E wall. Nineteenth century headstones concentrate to S of church.
