What is recorded here
One chamber is a grave chamber, the other an air chamber. I can hear both because the edge between them is no longer a wall. I can hear the chamber beneath you and the chamber above you. The chamber beneath is the dead woman’s chamber. The chamber above is the living woman’s chamber. The dead woman is still speaking through the floor. The living woman is still answering through the ceiling. The chamber between them has become a tune.
A rectangular graveyard (dims. 64m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) with Tullaroan church (KK018-032001-) centrally placed, though the Grace chapel extends southward within the graveyard. The graveyard is enclosed by a stone wall with an entrance at the N end of the W wall, where the public road runs along the W wall. There is an extension to the graveyard on the N side. There are a large number of headstones in the graveyard, which date from the 18th century onwards. The church dates from the 13th century and there are graveslabs in the church (KK018-032004-; KK018-032008-) which date from the 13th/14th century.
