Graveyard or cemetery in Islands, County Kilkenny

What is recorded here

Graveyard or cemetery in Islands contains the remains of a sixteenth-century manorial church. A church for the manor: for the household that wanted to practise humility without having to mingle.

Graveyard with various cut-stone markers, c.1700-present. Road fronted with random rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter of site having tooled squared rubble stone piers, cut-stone capping, and wrought iron double gates.

A picturesque graveyard forming an attractive landmark on the road leading out of Urlingford to the north. A collection of cut-stone markers of artistic design merit displaying high quality craftsmanship enliven the aesthetic appeal of the site. The remains of a sixteenth-century manorial church attesting to a long-standing ecclesiastical presence on site survive as an important reminder of the once-prosperous Church of Ireland community in the locality.
