This old graveyard is in Listarkelt Ancient Rath at Derrynoose, County Armagh. It was the site of Derrynoose Monastery, founded in the 6th century by St Mochua. There are still the ruins of a 17th century church. It sits on a hill above the B3 (Fergort Road). Across the B3 is St Machua's Holy Well. It is claimed the "Derrynoose Cursing Stone" is buried here. The stone is said to have brought bad luck. Also, see video I have done at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgebaD0Ik5Q&t=16s where my daughter reads the information board.
