Description
SMR No.: KE104A001158-
Monument Type: Leacht
Located to the east of the large oratory, the graveyard takes the form of a sub-rectangular platform (constructed in two phases) measuring 7.3m by 3.2m (Ill. 1.5). Its base is defined by large, long orthostats, against which a row of crosses and cross-slabs are placed vertically on the west side. Originally the graveyard was bigger but the east side fell away when part of the adjacent enclosure retaining wall collapsed.
