What is recorded here

The rectangular graveyard (dims 53m NWE-SE; 40m NE-SW) of Derrane Abbey (RO040-0004001-) defined by masonry walls is now extended to the SE (dims c. 55m NW-SE; c. 55m NE-SW). The older part has the head of a cross (RO040-040004-) and about ten architectural fragments (RO036-039004-). A Roman Catholic church is now outside the old graveyard at NW on the probable site of the abbey church. A fragment of a wall (L 11.7m NE-SW; T 0.9-1m; H 0.6-0.8m) with a taller section (H 2.3m) at its SW end survives inside the NW wall of the graveyard and might be the original wall of the abbey graveyard.
