St. Peters Church, Grave Yd.

Ecclesiastical enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on a level area in undulating terrain. A 19th-century church, which possibly overlies an earlier church (WI032-001001-), and a graveyard (WI032-001002-) lie within an oval enclosure marked as circular on the 1838 OS 6-inch map (dims. 70m N-S; 50m E-W). The S portion of the enclosure is intact and is defined by a bank (Wth 3m; H 1.5m). The N part has been removed and the modern rectangular graveyard added on. Other than the enclosure there is no surviving evidence of an early site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 September 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
