The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a level landscape. Dopping in his Visitation books (1682-5) does not comment on the graveyard at Rathmore (Ellison 1972, 12). The fortified parish church of Rathmore (ME024-017001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by masonry walls.
