The National Monuments Service's description
There are plain limestone grave-markers within the church (LE010-036001-) but there is no evidence of burial in the overgrown rectangular field (dims 38m N-S; 18m E-W) attached to the N. There is a record of a memorial commemorating two children of Robert Parke (d. 1671). The inscription reads: HERE LYETH THE BODYES OF ROB/ERT AND MARY CHILDREEN [sic] TO CAP. ROBERT PARKE / 1677. (FitzGerald 1910-12c; Foley and Donnelly 2012, 20). Recorded as a flat slab within the walls of the church, it cannot now be identified (Moore 2003, 173, No. 1400; ibid.).
