What is recorded here

Graveyard in Dromin stands on Killerdrim, where St Finian's church once called the dead home. Burials and possible grave-slabs emerged there, proving the hill had long served as a resting place. The name Killerdrim still carries a edge, inviting wonder about whether fear, loss or pride shaped the church and the people buried beside it.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
