What is recorded here

Killhunsin, the white church, stood on a prominent rise above County Dublin when the Abbey of St. Mary's claimed it in the early 13th century. Its walled graveyard has watched the countryside for centuries, holding the dead and the memory of the living who tended them. The Down Survey marked it in 1655, proving the place survived every storm and change that swept the land.
