What is recorded here

Grave Yd. holds the parish church of Balfeaghan inside masonry walls on a gentle south-facing slope in County Meath. Most headstones appear between 1850 and 2000, yet one stone bears 1724, suggesting the ground received dead long before the present church rose. The Summerhill to Kilcock road passes outside the southwest wall, carrying living traffic past a place where forgotten people still keep their quiet watch.

Located at the W edge of a fold in a gentle S-facing slope. The parish church of Balfeaghan (ME049-017----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 53m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE at NE to c. 35m NW-SE at SW) with the NW-SE Summerhill to Kilcock road (R158) outside on the SW side. It is defined by masonry walls and contains headstones dating mostly from c. AD 1850 to 2000, but there is one dated 1724. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 10 April, 2015
