What is recorded here
Templebeg and Calluragh burial ground in County Kerry, Ireland, is an oval waste area south of Kildurrihy village where a church once stood. In 1910, part of one wall survived inside a field wall beside a cross-inscribed stone. The laneway still cuts through the burial ground, carrying footsteps past the place where worship and death were kept together.
