Description
Graveyard with various cut-stone grave markers and table tombs, c.1675 – c.1825. (ii) Remains of detached three-bay single-cell Church of Ireland church, c.1675. In ruins, pre-1840. Now mostly collapsed. Remains of random rubble stone walls. (iii) Gateway, c.1775, to site comprising pair of unpainted roughcast lime rendered piers with rendered coping, and wrought iron double gates.
Appraisal
Although much of the evidence of a church on site has been reclaimed by the land, this site remains of particular significance as a reminder of the once-prosperous Church of Ireland community in the locality. A small group of cut-stone markers to the grounds are of artistic merit, and attest to high quality craftsmanship. The site remains a picturesque feature of some Romantic quality in the area.
