Graveyard

What is recorded here

Kilbreedy Graveyard in County Limerick holds a ruined medieval church in its northeast corner, while bushes and scrub now swallow most of the rectangular ground. The post-1700 stone wall still marks the boundary, but the burials and daily prayers that filled the place have faded from memory. What remains is a quiet shape in the landscape, waiting for someone to walk its overgrown edge and imagine the lives it kept.
The medieval church ruins (LI047-043001-) of Kilbreedy stands in NE quadrant of graveyard which consists of a rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 39m N-S x 33m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall. Graveyard now covered with bushes and scrub vegetation which are visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 31 July 2019
