Graveyard in Kill

Roadside, atop hill; rectangular graveyard (c. 60m E-W; c. 35m N-S) enclosed by high stone wall. Just N of centre, fragmentary ruin of Knockavilly parish church (9504). In occasional use; numerous 18th- and 19th-century headstones, earliest noted dated 1795; also numerous low uninscribed gravemarkers. According to Hartnett (1939, 263), rounds were paid here at the grave of Rev. Patrick Murphy, who died in 1845.
