What is recorded here

Graveyard in Templeogue stands near the foot of the Dublin Mountains, an oval dish of soil where a medieval watercourse once skirted the south edge. A narrow granite slab with a plain cross still rises southeast of the church, marking bodies buried before the later cemetery stretched west. The mountains watched, the water flowed, and people laid their dead beside both, trusting stone and distance to hold what flesh released.

Located near the foot of the Dublin Mountains on the outskirts of Templeogue village. A roughly oval-shaped graveyard, with a later cemetery off to the W. In the graveyard SE of the church is a narrow granite graveslab (H 0.90m; Wth 0.52m; T 0.32m) with a plain cross in high relief (DU0 22-009005-; Handcock 1877, 108). The medieval watercourse for Dublin city skirted the S side of this graveyard (DU022-003-). There are no visible remains above ground (Ball 1905, 3, 23-28). Compiled by Geraldine Stout
