What is recorded here
G. Yd. is gone. The quarry took the circular graveyard, its central church and every buried life before the 1908 map could even draw its rectangular shadow. What remains is a hole in County Carlow where the dead once stood beside their holy well, erased so completely that memory itself needs inventing.
The graveyard, depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1839 'OS 6-inch' map and as a roughly rectangular area on the 1908 'OS 6-inch' map (map dims. c. 62m N-S; c. 99m E-W), has been quarried away (Brindley and Kilfeather 1993, 71). Church (CW024-027001-) roughly centrally placed within the graveyard. Holy well (CW024-028----) 200m to SSE.
