Burial Ground

Reference to a burial ground called Killanure (the church of the yew), sometimes called Rath Killanure here (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 265). Described by Comerford as 'There are no traces of a church here, nor is there any local tradition of such having existed (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 265). In gently undulating countryside. No visible surface remains. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007
