What is recorded here
Situated on a marked N-facing slope. A rectangular graveyard (dims. 35m E-W; 50m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2-2.5m; H 1.3m), and named 'Kyle Grave Yard' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. Price (1946, 93) states there was no trace of any church here, and suggests it may have been used for burying unbaptised children.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
