The Graveyard of Cealltar  [duchas:4920225]

Ruins etc
Church-yard-field boundary. I cannot get any  information concerning the place beyond the general expression that it is a very ancient place. There is a small piece of ruin (in the church yard proper) which quite obviously is very ancient. To the North and west the field  within in the thicj walls in higher thatn the fields outside it and it makes an 8 foot high wall without and only a five to six high wall within. It is a righ quarter of mile from the nearest highway  but there are clear indications of an old road leading past it. The entrance to the field in which the church yard is a rather large earthan fort one ring-to 300 yards due nnorth of it is ns Quiltys farm.
