Kilcoo old graveyard, off Ballymoney Road, Ballymoney, Newcastle, Co Down

Fragmentary remains of a late medieval church and accompanying overgrown graveyard, set at the end of a lane to the W of Ballymoney Road, 4 miles SW of Castlewellan and less than half a mile N of the small village of Kilcoo. The ruins of the church and the graveyard are contained within an irregular enclosure which is roughly square in plan but curved to the S. The enclosure has stone revetment wall, now topped with a modern fence with timber and concrete posts, and is entered from the W where there is a gate consisting of a pair of square, rubble-built pillars with cement moulded pyramidal caps, and a 19th century looking wrought iron gate. Little remains of the rectangular church itself save fragments of the rubble walls to the N, E and W, now much overgrown. At their greatest extent the walls stand at roughly 3m with the dimensions of the former building itself roughly 18m by 8.5m. Around the ruins are various headstones with the earliest legible stones dating from the 18th century. A short distance to the N of this enclosure is the remains of circular rath enclosure.
