What is recorded here

Partly subterranean crypt, dated 1880, but possibly incorporating earlier monument of c.1834, when Thomas Andrew, 11th Lord Blayney, whose remains are apparently interred there, died. Roughly squared limestone walls and limestone flag roof. Passageway with rubble limestone retaining walls to front of mausoleum, having square brick piers to wrought-iron pedestrian gate, monument and passage set into cairn-like mound. Inscribed limestone plaque with top corners having cavetto chamfers, fixed to west end of mausoleum. Plaque reads 'This vault contains the bodies of Thomas Andrew, eleventh Lord Blayney, and some other members of the Blayney family AD 1880'. Table-top tomb to south-east. Sited to northern end of Saint Maeldoid's churchyard.
