Grave Yard (Disused)

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard (Disused) is a dormant D-shaped chamber in County Longford, Ireland, holding 18th- and 19th-century memorials beside architectural fragments from its companion church. The narrow wrought-iron gate opens directly onto the public road, inviting passing wheels and footsteps into a space where human loss has stopped accumulating but has not forgotten how to speak. Its stone wall and iron railing mark the edge of a world that no longer receives the living, yet still receives attention.
Associated with a church (LF019-050001-) located in its W half. This roughly D-shaped graveyard (56m E-W; 37m N-S) is enclosed by an 18th- or 19th-century stone wall surmounted by an iron railing in places. Access is via a narrow wrought-iron gate in the W wall, facing onto the public road. It is no longer in use and contains memorials dating from the 18th to the 19th centuries. A number of architectural fragments from the church are visible within it. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
