What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a small rectangular graveyard in County Kilkenny, Ireland, where a medieval church still stands at the centre. It lies towards the north end of a low ridge, near Annamult Castle and a medieval barn. The OS Letters described it as a small burying ground attached to the church, and that is exactly what it remains: a quiet place where people were laid to rest beside the building they worshipped in.

Towards the N end of a low ridge (Carrigan 1905, vol. 3, 373), in tillage. A medieval church (KK024-077001-) is centrally placed within this small roughly rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 22-25m E-W). Annamult Castle (KK023-084001-) is located c. 450m to the NW and a medieval barn (KK023-022----) lies c. 380m to the WNW. The OS Letters (1839) describe 'a small burying ground’ attached to the church (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 272-3 (92)). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 6 October 2021
