What is recorded here

Grave Yard occupied a sheltered Clare hollow where higher ground watched every entrance and exit. The 1842 map gave it a church and measured boundary, but the 1915 map called it disused, and by 1998 the ground had taken back its own name. Children may have slept in its southern part, their small graves erased beneath grass and patience.

In a sheltered hollow overlooked by higher ground on all sides. Indicated as an irregular area (c. 38m N-S; c. 20m E-W) and named ‘Grave Yard’ on the 1842 OS 6-inch map with a church (CL004-057001-) within and named ‘Grave Yard (Disused)’ on the 1915 ed. No evidence of the graveyard or the boundary indicated on the OS maps was noted on field inspection in 1998. Described by Westropp (1900, 135) as a poorly preserved church ‘in a graveyard’. The southern portion of the graveyard as marked on the 1842 map was used as a children’s burial ground (CL004-057006-). Compiled by: Mary Tunney and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 5 October 2022
