What is recorded here

Grave Yard holds the parish church of Timoole inside neglected masonry walls on a rise above the Nanny River valley. Its font left for Kentstown shortly after that Catholic church appeared, shifting a sacred function across five kilometres while the old stones waited. The graveyard still marks death and memory on the southern edge of the river valley, even though its active role moved elsewhere.

Situated on a rise in a fairly level landscape at the S edge of the W-E valley of the Nanny River with a WSW-ENE section of the stream c. 250m to the N. The parish church of Timoole (ME032-013----) is within a neglected subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 45m ENE-WSW; c. 35-40m NNW-SSE) defined by masonry walls. The font from here was moved to the Roman Catholic church at Kentstown (ME032-005----), c. 5km to the W, shortly after the Catholic church was built (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 346-7; Roe 1968, 69-72).
