What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a prominent rise in County Meath, holding a subrectangular church and masonry walls across roughly thirty metres of earth. Headstones from 1740 to 1953 mark the buried dead, while a latin cross head now stands outside St Mary’s at Moynalvy, pulled from its former bed. The place keeps its shape because people kept returning, naming the dead and moving what they could carry.

Situated on a prominent rise in an undulating landscape. The church (ME043-015----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 37m E-W; c. 30m N-S) retained by masonry walls, and its few headstones dating from 1740 to 1953 have been recorded (Moore 1975, 45-9). The head of a latin cross (ME043-015002-) from the graveyard is now outside the Roman Catholic church of St Mary’s at Moynalvy (ME043-028----), c. 1.6km to the S (ibid. 46-7).
