What is recorded here
Glebe Graveyard in County Louth holds a central church within a rectangular field, its oldest known marker dating to 1773. Local tradition also whispers of a hidden cave beneath the ground, giving the quiet place a darker edge. People have died, been remembered and perhaps fled into that unknown cave, while the church still stands among them.
Rectangular shaped graveyard (map dims. c. 70m E-W; c. 32m N-S), with church (LH018-044001-) in centre and bounded by roadway to W and fields on other three sides. Earliest graveslab noted (when inspected by ASI in 1966) dates to 1773. Local tradition of a 'cave' existing here (see LH018-044002-).
