The National Monuments Service's description
To N of the railway line, in a field known as the 'churchyard' field, was a small disused graveyard within which were some rude headstones marking the graves of unbaptised children (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 351).
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.
