What is recorded here

Graveyard in Baldongan stands on a hill summit in County Dublin, watching the countryside through centuries of weather. A medieval church occupies much of the site, while grave markers from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries mark continued human presence. The raised ground south of the church suggests burial activity long before recorded dates. People still walk the path through the ploughed field, joining a lineage that stretches back into medieval time.

Located on a prominent hill summit with extensive views of the surrounding countryside. Accessed via a path through a ploughed field. The graveyard is enclosed by a stone masonry wall and is sub-rectangular in plan. A medieval church (DU005-037001) occupies much of the site. The ground to the south of the church is raised compared to that outside. The graveyard contains 18th, 19th and 20th century grave markers including a pillar stone with the remnants of an inscription (Fingal Historic Graveyards project 2008). The graveyard is still in use.
