What is recorded here
Burial Ground is a neglected graveyard at the west end of a drumlin ridge in County Monaghan, holding the remains of the medieval parish church of Tullycorbet. Earthen banks still mark its rough rectangle, while grass and forgetfulness have swallowed most of what stood there. A carved head once watched from the church gable, and it may still hide somewhere in the overgrowth, waiting to be found.
Situated at the W end of a prominent E-W drumlin ridge. This site of the medieval parish church of Tullycorbet (MO014-030001-) is within a neglected subrectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 100m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks. A corner portion of a gable coping with a carving of a head (MO014-030003-) from the medieval church was noted in 1940 (ITA Survey) and is probably still present, but its precise location in the overgrown graveyard is not known.
