Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a prominent hill in Clonee townland, County Meath, where an oval patch of earth holds the church of St Magdalene and a scattering of headstones spanning 1742 to 2004. Earthen banks and hedges mark its edges, reaching toward a public road at the southeast, while the River Boyne flows less than half a kilometre west. The site has witnessed burial and memory for generations, its quiet boundary shaped by hands that tended both living land and dead.
Situated on top of a prominent local hill surrounded by Clonee townland, with a S-N section of the River Boyne c. 460m to the W. The site of the church of St Magdalene (ME041-003----) is in an oval graveyard (max. dims c. 95m NW-SE: c. 45m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks and hedges that extend as far as a NNE-SSW public road at SE, but the few headstones date from 1742 to 2004 and are close to the church.
