What is recorded here
Lemonfield holds a graveyard where the dead have waited patiently for living people to remember them. The site remains classified but unrecorded in public databases, creating an unusual gap between physical presence and digital absence. This is not negligence but transformation: the database demands exact coordinates and official names while the graveyard operates through scent, soil and the particular way shadow falls across old stone. What resists measurement often proves more alive than what can be mapped.
The Archaeological Survey of Ireland (ASI) is in the process of providing information on all monuments on The Historic Environment Viewer (HEV).
