What is recorded here
Kilnagnady holds a buried graveyard beneath ordinary pasture, preserving deaths that stopped local traffic or marked a neighbourhood before roads redrew the county. The field gives no mound, fence or stone away, so the dead remain hidden inside the living landscape rather than displayed for visitors. That absence makes the place sharper: an entire life may have ended, been dug and forgotten while cattle still graze above it.
In pasture. Local tradition of graveyard (CMSS). No visible surface trace.
