What is recorded here

Indicated on Taylor and Skinner's map (1777). Sub-rectangular shaped (map dims. c. 80m NW-SE x c. 45m NE-SW). In the NW is a small decorated stone (L 0.5m, Wth 0.18m, T 0.11m) used as a graveslab. All but one side has been dressed, so that originally the stone must have been recumbent. A cherub is carved on side in a circular depression. A limestone burial slab with the carved figure of a bishop was removed from the graveyard to the National Museum. Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 17 November 2011
