Grave Yard — Mortlestown (mortlestown Par.)

Church (TS076-027001-) roughly centrally placed in a irregularly shaped graveyard (dims. Approx. 50m N-S; 52m E-W), on an E facing slope in gently undulating terrain with pasture surround the graveyard. Graveyard under lush grass at time of inspection. All visible headstones are of 18th-century date and are placed to S of the church, with only one exception to E of church. Along external N face of the surviving wall architectural fragments have been placed, all limestone. These consist of chamfered jambs from doors or windows and the curving headstones of a doorway, with chamfered edge; broken ogee-head of window with plain chamfer. Rubble has been dumped at E end of this wall and the whole is grass-covered obscuring the original wall width. Internal wall face of S wall survives up to two courses high. Incorporated in the inner face of the W gate pier at the entrance to the graveyard is a chamfered jamb, no doubt from the church. The enclosing stone wall is surmounted and largely obscured by thorn bushes. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
