What is recorded here

Paupers Grave Yard in County Louth is a disused rectangular burial ground marked only by a few scattered stones on rough ground. It is a quiet place where forgotten people were laid to rest, perhaps without ceremony or recognition. The grass may have grown over names and stories, but the stones still hold the shape of lives that ended in poverty.

The following description is derived from both the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986) and the 'Archaeological Survey of County Louth' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1991).
