The National Monuments Service's description
Not marked in gothic on the 1841 or 1909 eds OS 6-inch maps. Reference to graveyard here (Comerford, M. p. 137). All visible headstones post 1700 AD. According to Comerford this was the site of an ancient and still used cemetery, but no traces of a church are observable, nor is there any local tradition as to one having stood there (Comerford 1883-6, p. 137).
Rectangular shaped graveyard (int. dims. 14m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall containing 18th and 19th century memorials.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
