What is recorded here

Yes. An irregular walled graveyard on the south side of Churchyard Lane in County Dublin, enclosing the old church of Merrion and holding graveslabs from the 18th to 19th century. It is a coast-road place where the dead have been kept beside a lane people still pass, not hidden from the town or forgotten by it.

Situated along the coast road, on the S side of Churchyard Lane. A walled graveyard, irregular in shape (N-S 40.3m, E-W 53.5m).

The graveslabs in the present graveyard date from the 18th to 19th century. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 6 July 2018
