Appraisal
A picturesque graveyard forming an attractive landmark on the road leading out of Urlingford to the north. A collection of cut-stone markers of artistic design merit displaying high quality craftsmanship enliven the aesthetic appeal of the site. The remains of a sixteenth-century manorial church attesting to a long-standing ecclesiastical presence on site survive as an important reminder of the once-prosperous Church of Ireland community in the locality.
