What is recorded here

Killeek Graveyard stands as an oval chamber of memory off a crossroads in County Dublin, holding markers from 1701 beside ruined church walls. Sycamores and elders climb its boundary while the raised floor lifts the dead slightly above the living world. People still bring flowers to stones worn smooth by centuries of rain, suggesting the chamber never stopped receiving what humans lose.

Located off crossroads amidst rolling countryside. This is a walled graveyard which is oval in plan. The wall is planted with sycamores and elders. There is a broad earthen bank evident outside the graveyard (DU011-031001-). Within the graveyard are the ruins of a church (DU011-031002-). The interior is raised above external ground level (H1.50m). The graveyard contains grave markers dating from 18th century, the earliest of which appears to be 1701. The graveyard was previously surveyed (Egan 1992). Still in use. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 03 January 2015
