What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in undulating countryside. A large irregularly shaped graveyard (OF007-051) enclosed by a drystone wall with 19th-century headstones concentrated in its S sector. A small rectangular drystone-walled enclosure to the SE may represent a single family burial plot. Two bullaun stones (OF007-052001/002-) are located in a pile of field clearance stones to the N of the headstones. A chamfered and rebated jambstone of a late medieval limestone window can be seen lying on the ground immediately N of the headstones. This fragment may have come from the nearby castle ruins (OF007-051) located in the field to the SW of the graveyard. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
