What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a disused rectangular graveyard in County Longford, Ireland, holding memorials from the 18th to 20th centuries beside a medieval church. Scrub now chokes its stone wall, while two cross-slabs sit in a nearby display unit and a bullaun stone waits in the grass. The dead have stopped arriving, but the place still keeps its shape, remembering every hand that once laid a body beneath its quiet soil.

Associated with a medieval church (LF013-018----). This rectangular graveyard (74m N-S; 24m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall and is overgrown with scrub; it is no longer in use. Memorials date from the 18th to the 20th centuries. Two cross-slabs (LF013-018002- and LF013-018003-) have been placed in a display unit close to the W wall. A bullaun stone (LF013-018001-) is visible nearby. Archaeological testing and monitoring undertaken in 2000 adjacent to the W wall revealed no archaeological features or artifacts (Walsh 2002, 203).
