What is recorded here
Grave Yd. is a D-shaped graveyard dedicated to St. Bridget in County Laois, Ireland. William Dullany died there in 1721, marking the oldest visible inscription among many later memorials. The church sits in the north quadrant while a road forms the southern boundary, creating a compact space where generations have rested beside one another.

Described by Carrigan as 'In the graveyard, a small rough headstone has : "I.H.S. William Dullany 1721". This is the oldest of many inscriptions here' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 308).
D-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 40m N-S; 42m E-W) with church in N quadrant and road forming S boundary of graveyard. It contains 18th and 19th century memorials.
