Graveyard in Kilbarrack Lower — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Kilbarrack Lower is a living graveyard where new graves still open beside medieval church ruins. The strand-born cemetery has grown northward into three acres, holding memories from the 17th through 20th centuries. People still walk its limestone paths, proving death is not the end of a place but the beginning of its continuity.

Access from Sutton Strand. A roughly square raised area defined by a masonry wall encloses the remains of the medieval parish church (DU015-021001-). The graveyard was originally built on the strand and was unenclosed. It has now been extensively expanded to the north to encompass three acres and is surrounded by a limestone rubble wall. The graveyard contains memorials from the 17th-20th century, the oldest clustered around the church. Still in use.
