What is recorded here

Killshane, County Dublin. The Old Burying Ground no longer exists above ground. Quarrying removed every stone, ridge and mark. The 1842 Ordnance Survey map still outlines it at the north end of the field. A community buried its dead there, surveyors recorded the fact, and later work erased the place entirely. What remains is a blank field and the knowledge that something was lost.

On the 1st edition OS 6-inch map (1842) there is an area identified as the 'Old Burying Ground' outlined in the N end of this field. The area has been extensively quarried. Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 22 January 2015
