CHRIST CHURCH, TOURMAKEADY, CHURCH OF IRELAND BALLYOVIE PARISH, CO. MAYO

Visited Friday 1st June 2012

Churchyard looks as if it had been cleared of trees and growth in the last few
years.

Very few carved headstones exist. There may be more amongst the ferns
but nothing obvious. There is likely to be head and foot stones in the
ferns.
