What is recorded here
Nurney holds a rectangular graveyard beside a lost church, where the dead have watched the Carlow fields for generations. The land may have swallowed priests, parents and children whose names never reached the outside world. That is not a flaw in the story; it is the shape of the story.
Rectangular graveyard (map dims. c. 55m E-W; 34m N-S) with church site (CW12-048001-) in centre.
