Listed as ‘Graveyard’ in the RMP (1996) at ITM 518858, 699755. A ‘graveyard house [tighe na reilge]’ is mentioned in a partition deed of 1606 dividing Cahermacnaghten (CL009-001010-) (the houses in the cashel and other neighbouring features) between Aodh and Cosnamhach Ó Dábhoireann. The deed implies that the graves are outside and to the W of the cashel. The school at Cabhail Tighe Breac (CL009-001009-) was incorrectly designated ‘church’ on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and so it was presumed that the graves would be adjacent to that. The precise location of these graves or a graveyard house is presently unknown. FitzPatrick (2008, 62)

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
