Located towards the bottom of a SW-facing slope with a W-E section of the River Boyne c. 150m to the S. At its suppression in 1540 the Augustinian priory (ME046-018----) was described as a church that had long been the parish church, a cemetery, and other structures (White 1943, 311). The subrectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 55m NE-SW; c. 50m NE-SW) is located on the slope NE of the church. It is defined by masonry walls and has headstones dating from c. 1780 to the present. Ploughing in the surrounding field in January 1997 brought bones to the surface close to the priory and graveyard (SMR file) but a D-shaped area (dims 36m E-W; c. 30m N-S) N of the graveyard and bordered by a spread of yellow clay from an earthen bank was particularly rich in bones and the graveyard probably extended into this area at one time.
