Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Athlumney stands on a SW-facing slope above the River Boyne, its D-shaped wall enclosing the parish church and marking dead people across centuries. The road cuts slightly into the north edge, yet the place keeps its shape: stone, soil, river light and the steady presence of the buried.
Situated on level ground with the top of a SW-facing slope overlooking a SSE-NNW section of the River Boyne c. 100m to the SW, and with the river c. 50m further to the SW. The parish church of Athlumney (ME025-031----) is within a D-shaped graveyard (max. dims c. 63m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls that is curtailed slightly by a WNW-ESE road on the N side. The graveslab (ME025-031002-) is in the nave fo the church. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 July, 2014
