What is recorded here

Site of Grave Yard is a burial ground in Carrigeensharragh, County Tipperary, Ireland. It occupies level ground that drops steeply west toward the River Moyle, sits immediately south of the former Annsfort House orchard, and measures 29.5 metres north-south by 20.2 metres east-west as a raised irregular area. A water pump and substantial gravel mound occupy its south end, while a north-south trackway beside it leads southeast to a ringfort.

On level ground which falls steeply to W beyond the burial ground, with River Moyle at base of slope. Land rises gently to E, in pasture. Immediately S of former orchard of Annsfort House. It appears as a raised irregular area (diam. 29.5m N-S; 20.2m E-W), however, on the OS 25-inch map the area of the graveyard (dims. 62m E-W; 38m N-S) is indicated as an oval area, tapering towards the E. There is outcrop immediately below the grass. The burial ground appears to have been subject to a lot of disturbance. A water pump was built on the S end of the graveyard and very substantial gravel mound built up around the pump. Ground to E of pump has been hollowed out slightly. Gravel for pump may have been extracted from the immediate area. A trackway (TS077-118----) N-S of burial ground appears to be an old road which runs SE to a ringfort (TS077-038----).
