What is recorded here

Indicated is a graveyard in Newtown Gore, County Leitrim, where a low rise breaks the flat landscape and holds a Church of Ireland building inside rectangular masonry walls. Headstones reaching back to 1733 mark continuity through changing church structures, while the nearby map name Moyagh reminds us that identity itself has shifted. The place is small, quiet and layered: old death, new walls, and a village still living around them.

Situated on a low rise in a low-lying, level landscape within Newtown Gore village. There is a Church of Ireland church within the rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by masonry walls, but this church was built since 1835 and on the 6-inch map of that year Moyagh Church (LE026-016001-) is within small oval enclosure (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined by broken lines. The present graveyard has a few headstones dating from 1733 at the old church to the present. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 7 July, 2017

A portal dolmen; likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. Its location within a defined graveyard area suggests a possible continuity of sacred or ceremonial use of the site through later periods.
