What is recorded here

Situated on a pronounced S-facing slope at the SE end of Inis Cealtra. A subrectangular graveyard (c. 37m NE-SW x 27m NW-SE) defined by a roughly coursed mortared wall fairly even in height all around (int. H 1.06m; T 0.6m; ext. H 1m) with an entrance gate (Wth 1.3m) on the N wall adjacent to the NW corner of the church and a style (Wth 0.2m) further NE along the N wall. St Mary’s church (CL029-009008-) lies within this graveyard and the original perimeter wall extended as far as what is now the S wall of St Brigid’s graveyard (CL029-009007-). The inscribed headstones are of 19th and 20th century date. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 14 October 2015
