What is recorded here
Loughbrackan Grave Yard in County Meath is a grass-covered rectangle held by earthen banks where burial ceased around 1890. No headstones remain visible, yet bones appeared in the field bank when the sod was poached, proving the grass still covers human departure. The place keeps its dead beneath ordinary green instead of stone, waiting for attention rather than displaying it.
The church (ME006-028----) is within a rectangular grass-covered graveyard (dims c. 57m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) defined by earthen banks on each side except the SE where there is a scarp. No headstones or grave-markers are visible, but it is known locally that burial ceased c. 1890 and bones were noted in the field bank where the sod was poached.
