What is recorded here

Located slightly W of centre within a graveyard (MA123-005002-). Indicated as 'Vault' on the 1929 OS 6-inch map. A 19th-century stone-built vaulted tomb (3.55m N-S; 3.45m E-W; H 2m), topped by a stepped arrangement of finely cut limestone slabs with the apex surmounted by a decorative stone urn. A slab set in the S wall carries a dedication to the D'Arcy family of Houndswood, Castletown and Ballykine. The entrance to the vault is at N and is unsealed, though partly blocked by later drystone walling. The tomb stands within a square enclosure (7.1m E–W; 7.4m N–S) delimited by a roughly-built drystone wall. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 14 July 2015
