That combination, officially recognised but substantially undocumented, places it in an unusual category: a site significant enough to register, but one whose story has not yet been fully told.

Lamoge sits in a part of Kilkenny where early medieval ecclesiastical settlements were not uncommon, and many such graveyards in the region trace their origins to early Christian communities, sometimes predating the Norman arrival in Ireland in the twelfth century. Graveyards of this kind often occupy ground that was once the site of a small church or monastic enclosure, the building itself long since collapsed or robbed for stone, leaving only the burial ground as evidence that something of consequence once stood there. Without more specific documentation attached to this particular site, it is not possible to say with confidence what lies beneath the surface or what period the earliest burials represent, but the formal designation suggests the site is considered to carry genuine archaeological weight.
