Graveyard in Clonkeehan

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Clonkeehan holds a possible graveyard beside its church, invisible on every OS map ever drawn. That absence does not diminish the place; it suggests the living once knew the boundary while the state forgot it. People may have walked past unmarked graves for generations, reading only the shape of the land and the memory of the church.

A possible early Christian graveyard, likely medieval in date, associated with a now-unrecorded church; its significance lies in its potential to provide insights into local ecclesiastical and burial practices.
