What is recorded here

Castleconnell is a graveyard where a medieval parish church still stands in ruins beside a 19th century C of I church. The old rectangular grave yard measured about 45m north-south and 68m east-west inside a post-1700 stone wall, but later extension doubled its reach. Burials from the 18th century to the present fill the enlarged ground, while the two churches face each other across generations of stone and forgetting.

Medieval parish church ruins (LI001-002001-) of Castleconnell stand in the E quadrant of the old rectangular-shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 45m N-S x 68m E-W) which is enclosed by a post-1700 stone wall. A 19th century C of I church stands in the W quadrant of the graveyard which has been extended to the N and E creating a much large rectangular-shaped graveyard (approx. 91m N-S x 145m E-W). The graveyard contains memorials dating from the 18th century to the present time. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 28 September 2018
