Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard hides in Kildare pasture, its wooden fence marking a square of forgotten deaths. A granite pyramid still stands in the north-west, waiting for the name of the family that built it. The church is gone, but the field keeps its shape, slightly raised as if remembering the weight of the people buried beneath it.
In level pasture. A totally overgrown, almost square area (c. 57m N-S; c. 55m E-W), with a rounded N side, is enclosed by a wooden fence. The interior is slightly higher than the surrounding field and contained a church (KD029-016----). The earliest legible grave markers date to the 18th-century. A family vault, in the form of a granite-built pyramid, stands in the NW quadrant. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 06 September 2013
