Place & story
Repairs in 2021 and 2024
A graveyard boundary-wall collapse in the winter of 2018–19 changed the order of conservation work at Dulane Church. Niall Roycroft’s report records the National Monuments Service’s advice to repair that wall before beginning work on the church. Five sections, together about eighteen metres long, were repaired in 2021. A further section of about three metres collapsed in 2024 and was repaired by December that year. Roycroft reports no archaeological deposits or objects found during those repair works; this finding concerns the monitored repairs, not the archaeological potential of the whole churchyard. [2]
