Graveyard

What is recorded here

Indicated is a walled graveyard at the north end of a pasture ridge in County Kildare, preserving a medieval font and a gargoyle now mounted on a 19th-century church. The earliest legible gravestones date to the 18th century, while the older church has vanished beneath grass and memory. The gargoyle still watches the ridge, perhaps spitting rain onto names no longer visible, turning a quiet burial place into a small stage for forgotten lives.
At the N end of a pasture ridge. A rectangular area (c. 68m N-S; c. 54m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall with an entrance gate on the S side. It contained a medieval church (KD032-041----). A medieval font (KD032-041002-) survives, as well as a medieval gargoyle (KD032-041003-) which is mounted on the W gable of a 19th-century church there. The earliest legible gravestones date to the 18th-century. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 31 October 2013
