What is recorded here
Kilcoran Grave Yd. stands in Ballyanrahan, County Limerick, as a burial ground once claimed by the Roses. The name suggests a small church or chapel, yet no building remains to mark the exact spot where those bodies entered the earth. Patrickswell sits nearby, waiting for someone to walk the distance and imagine the processions that once moved between them.
Westropp (1904-5, 370) recorded the following details about Kilcoran; 'A "Kyle " in Ballyanrahan. A burial-ground used by the Roses. Not far distant is Patrickswell'.
