Description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. 35m) defined by scarp (Wth 3m; H 1.2m) SE-S-WSW and bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.7m; Wth 7.4m) WSW-N. Internal scarp (int. Wth 4.5m; int. H 1.1m) exists where bank truncated on exterior by laneway N-SE. Bank breached (Wth 2.2m) at WSW and eroded at SW. Interior slopes down relatively steeply to S with prevalent slope; uneven surface and stones evident. Remains of external fosse at SW only, noted under heavy growth.

- TS071-019 Church
Description
On the S end of a broad ridge which slopes steeply to the S beyond the graveyard to a small river valley running roughly E-W. In rushy terrain, rough grazing. The church (dims. 7m N-S; 15.9m E-W; wall T 0.9m) is on a rise in the southern part of the graveyard (TS071-019001-) which originally extended further northward. Aligned E-W, it is constructed of sandstone rubble, roughly coursed. Only the E gable (H 5-5.5m) stands to any height. It is heavily ivy clad, though there is a clear area in the interior where a section of wall has been rebuilt with well coursed sandstone blocks. All the remaining walls are visible as low collapsed wall (H 0.7-2m) with only the SE angle being quite well preserved, but this is obscured by ivy. The line of the S wall is largely composed of rubble. There is a gap (Wth 2.5m) mid-way along the N wall which probably indicates the position of the original doorway. There appears to be an external buttress (H c. 2m; Wth 0.65m) at the S end of the E gable. A sandstone shrine has recently been built onto the W end of the N wall. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 57-8) the 'west gable and north wall are nearly destroyed but the south wall and east gable are in tolerable preservation. The east gable contains a small window placed at the unusual height of fifteen feet [4.5m] from the ground and measuring on the inside, where it is quadrangular, about five feet [1.5m] and three feet [0.9m] in width; on the outside it is constructed of cut limestone pointed at top and measures about three feet [0.9m] in height and not more than six inches [0.15m] in width'. A graveslab (TS071-019002-) possibly of 16th or early 17th-century date was noted within the SE quadrant of the church in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 58).

- TS071-019001 Graveyard
Description
On the S end of a broad ridge which slopes steeply to the S beyond the graveyard to a small river valley running roughly E-W. In rushy terrain, rough grazing. The graveyard was originally sub-rectangular in shape (dims. 67m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE), defined by an earthen bank (Wth at top 1.6m; Wth at base 4.5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.3m) with the church (TS071-019----) occupying a raised area at the southern end. In the 19th century the southern part of the graveyard was enclosed by a stone wall, encompassing the earlier SW boundary which is evident as a scarp running NE-SW within the W wall. The 19th-century enclosure forms a roughly triangular shape (dims. 33m N-S; 49m E-W) with an entrance at the S of the W wall. There are several 18th century headstones within the church interior, the earliest dating to 1722. The vast majority of headstones in the graveyard are 19th century in date, with only one 20th century headstone, however, there are no headstones in the E end of the graveyard. There are a lot of rough uncut stones which have been utilised as headstones. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
- TS071-019002 Graveslab
Description
A 17th-century graveslab within the church (TS071-019----) of Grangemockler. According to the OS letters 'Inside this Church, at the southeast corner, there is a small gravestone now much mutilated marking the burial place of a gentleman of the name Shea, and his wife (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 58 (157)). The inscription begins:- Hic jacet Joannes Shea Generosus et uxor eius Elisia'. It is possibly the same graveslab as that from which a rubbing was taken (FitzGerald 1913-1019, vol. 9, 358) and of which the upper and lower portions of the slab were missing. The inscription, which 'ran lenghways on the slab parallel to the shaft of the cross; what is deciperable runs thus:- .....LA GENEROSVS / ..... VXOR EIVS E / ........... ORETVR PRO EIS / 16.. (Stem of a Cross) [QVISQVIS] ERIS QVI TRANSIEHIS, STA / [PERLEGE,] PLORA. SVM QVOD ERIS, / [FVERAMQVE QVOD ES], PRO ME PRECOR, ORA. (Traces of letters) ..... PVERAq QVO' (ibid.). The inscription is accompanied by three shields with coat-of-arms, the lowest of which appears to bear a chevron between three pheons, points upwards (ibid.). It could not be located at time of inspection. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 30 September 2014
