What is recorded here
Grave Yd. (Disused) is a rectangular graveyard in County Longford, Ireland, measuring 87m E-W and 34m N-S, enclosed by a stone wall with gates in the W and S walls. It sits within the SE corner of a cathedral and beside a 19th-century Church of Ireland building, holding memorials from the 19th to 20th centuries. The place feels like a quiet chamber where two faiths shared one boundary, and where ordinary people were remembered across a century of change.
Associated with a cathedral (LF019-051001-) within its SE corner, and a roughly centrally located 19th-century church (C of I). This rectangular graveyard (87m E-W; 34m N-S) is enclosed by a stone wall. Access is via the main gate in the W wall or via stone steps and a gate in the S wall. Memorials date from the 19th to the 20th centuries. (ITA Survey 1944; Lennon 2005)
