What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a slightly raised oval graveyard in County Kildare, Ireland, holding 18th-century markers and a ruined church beside a road fork near a castle site. Its modern mortared wall marks a boundary that older stones and soil already understood. People may have kept returning there because death, memory and locality still need a shape they can walk around.

Not named on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. In the fork of a road in gently undulating pasture, c. 250m N of a castle site (KD009-009----). A slightly raised, oval area (int. diams. c. 40m E-W; c. 30m N-S) is defined by a modern, mortared stone wall. The earliest legible grave markers date from the 18th century and a very ruined church (KD009-008001-) stands to N of centre in the interior. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
