What is recorded here

Located on a slight rise of a S-facing slope near the W head of a small W-E valley. The parish church of Danestown (ME032-008----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE at NE to c. 48m NE-SW at SW) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank (Wth c. 4-5m). The inscriptions of many of the headstones have been published (Moore et al. 1974). Three pieces of window sill are used as grave-markers, and the head of an ogee-headed window and pieces of window tracery are in the graveyard. Inside the entrance on the N side of the graveyard there is part of a font (ME032-008002-). The perimeter of Danestown rath (ME032-007----) is c. 15m outside the graveyard to the NE.
