What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a bluff above the River Boyne estuary, its rectangular stones watching tidal mud-flats and the Colpe stream. The parish church of Mornington anchors the southwest corner while masonry walls enclose the dead against the open sky. Anyone walking that edge hears water moving beneath the ground and remembers that life and death share the same river.

The S-N Colpe stream enters the Boyne c. 100m to the W.

The chest tomb (ME021-001003-) is within the area of the church. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 16 December, 2014
