What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Longford remains a living boundary between generations, holding eighteenth-century memorials inside a late nineteenth-century stone wall beside an Augustinian abbey. Each July, people return for Cemetery Sunday to celebrate Mass on its stone altar, suggesting that death has never stopped the place from giving life back. The graveyard does not preserve distance; it keeps company.

Associated with an Augustinian abbey (LF018-066001-), which is located at its E end. This roughly subrectangular graveyard (112m E-W; 73m N-S) is enclosed by a late 19th-century stone wall and is still in use. Memorials date from the 18th century. Mass is celebrated on a stone altar within it on 'Cemetery Sunday' in July every year. (ITA Survey 1944; Higgins 1971, 110-12; Lennon 2005) Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
