Aglish Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Yes. Aglish Grave Yard is a rectangular graveyard on the west side of a road in County Limerick, Ireland. It has level plots, concrete paths and a concrete-block wall, with most headstones from the 20th century although some date to the 1590s. Whether a church ever stood there is unclear. The place is ordinary in shape but sudden in time, as if lives from different centuries were poured into the same flat ground.
On W side of road. Rectangular graveyard ( 28m N-S; 52m E-W), with recent extension (30m N-S; 51m E-W) to S; all bounded by concrete-block wall. Interior laid out with level plots and concrete paths. Earliest headstones noted date to 1590s but vast majority are 20th century. It is unclear whether this ever contained a church (Westropp 1904-5, 415). Graveyard marked in the wrong location on the revised edition of the OS 6-inch map. Compiled by: Denis Power Revised by: Caimin O'Brien Date of revised upload: 25 June 2019
