Situated on a slight E-facing slope within Mohill town, with a small N-S stream that flows down to Lough Rinn just to the E. In 1620 Henry Crofton acquired the rectory and the medieval parish church of Mohill, which were on the site of St. Manchan’s monastery (LE032-068001-) along with 600 acres (MacCuarta 1999, 130), but he added a chapel (ME032-068002-) and a tomb (LE032-068004-) for himself (Logan 1971, 327-8). The sites of these are within the graveyard (LE032-068003-) around the present Church of Ireland church which was built c. 1815 (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 376). The nature of the tomb is not known graveyard is a sub-rectangular area (dims c. 90m N-S; c. 30-60m E-W) defined by masonry walls, with memorials dating from 1754 to the present.
