What is recorded here

Situated on a rise in s level landscape. The parish church of Clonmaduff (ME030-009----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 40m WNW-ESE; c. 40m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls, which according to Dopping (1682-5) were not present at that time (Ellison 1972, 12). The headstones date from c. 1800 to c. 1980 and include two that commemorate the priors of Courtown friary (ME030-010----), an 18th century Franciscan house (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 121-4), that was c. 500m to the SE, which lasted until 1826.
