Graveyard in Castlebellingham

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Castlebellingham graveyard holds a central church believed to occupy the footprint of an earlier worship site, while grave slabs from the early to mid eighteenth century mark the lives buried around it. The sub-rectangular shape suggests a small community that kept returning to the same ground across generations. People may have walked past those stones for weddings, funerals and ordinary errands, carrying memory into the heart of County Louth.
