Graveyard in Kilmore Upper

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Graveyard in Kilmore Upper stands in pasture on a low rise, its sub-rectangular shape marked by a surviving bank and faint fosse. A small church sits off-centre to the southeast, suggesting worship and burial shared one enclosed space. People may have walked this ground for generations, tending the dead beside living fields. The quiet shape still holds that rhythm, even when names have faded.
In pasture, on a low rise. Roughly sub-rectangular area (dims. c. 52m E-W; min. c. 50m N-S) defined by remains of low bank (int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.25m; Wth at top 1.3m; total Wth 5.3m) to W, N and E. Bank (int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.1m; Wth atop 1.65m; total Wth 5.8m) is best preserved along S-side (L 50m). Fosse (basal Wth 1.2m; overall Wth 4.2m; Dth 0.1m) to N and E continues as dry, sinuous stream bed along W-side. Fosse (basal Wth 1.0m; overall Wth 6.45m; Dth 0.6m) is best preserved along S-side. Bank along W-side is sinuous as it follows the upper side of the dry stream bed. Church (TS060-012----) is off-centre to SE within. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
