What is recorded here

Described in the History of the Queen's County as 'There are few ecclesiastical remains at Shrule, but there is a graveyard (LA032-012005-) near Shrule Castle (LA032-012001-). In it are the ruins of an old chapel (LA032-012004-), and within its nave are the tombs of the Hartpole's and their connexions. Many of the inscriptions there are defaced and illegible (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 315-16). In the s quadrant of the graveyard are the poorly preserved ivy-covered remains of low wall which appears to be the S wall of some sort of tomb or possibly the remains of a church (LA032-012004-). This wall is covered in ivy and is impossible to examine and appears to represent the S wall of a building aligned E-W. The S wall of the structure runs parallel to the S wall of the graveyard and is only 1m to the N of this wall. The SE quadrant of the graveyard was covered in trees and other vegetation making examination of this area impossible. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revision: 11 December 2014
