Graveyard in Shanganagh

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Kiltuc graveyard vanished beneath Shanganagh, leaving only a faint rectangular shadow in aerial photos and the church ruins at its north-west corner. The site sits low beside the Dublin mountains, stripped of markers but still holding the shape of a place where people once laid others to rest. What remains is a ghost rectangle, large enough to walk around, small enough to forget until the sky reveals it.
This site is located in a low-lying urbanised landscape at east of the Dublin mountains. There are no upstanding remains of Kiltuc graveyard. A recent aerial photograph of the site (OS 9 2202) shows a cropmark of a large rectangular enclosure (L 25m, Wth 20m). The present church remains form the NW corner of this enclosure site (DU026-054007-). This maybe the levelled remains of the graveyard Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy.
