Graveyard in Clogrenan

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Clogrenan holds a rectangular graveyard beside the late medieval parish church of Cloydagh, which once answered to the Augustinian Monastery of Great Connall. The connection suggests monks, travellers or local families crossed the Carlow landscape to pray, bury or remember among stones that have stood since before written records became common. That much distance and devotion turns a quiet field into a place where obligation, faith and loss travelled together.
