What is recorded here

Cemetery in County Kildare is a sub-rectangular graveyard on a moderate north-facing slope, marked by legible gravemarkers from the 19th and 20th centuries. Its southern edge touches Rath Nua, a banked area that may have contained a church, while its northern part became enclosed between the 1838 and 1939 map editions. The place holds ordinary death and local memory, with stones clustered toward the east and a boundary wall still standing against the sky.

The N portion is shown to have been enclosed on the current ed. (1939-40) of the map, which also shows the S portion partially enclosed by a bank and named ‘Rath Nua’ (KD028-052001-), which may have contained a church (KD028-052003-).
