What is recorded here
Grave Yard in County Carlow, Ireland holds a trapezoidal plot where a central church still anchors the dead. Broken quoins and a moulded granite window jamb mark graves or brace the southwest stile, proving the place reused its own ruins. The road curves past the boundary like a forgotten circular enclosure, suggesting the living once walked a wider path around the buried.
Trapezoidal in shape (map dims. c. 28m N-S at the E end and c. 58m N-S at W end and c. 75m E-W). Church (CW013-070001-) roughly centrally placed. Several quoins and a granite moulded window jamb are in use as grave markers; window jamb incorporated in stile at SW corner of graveyard (CW013-070002-). Distinct curve in road, suggesting former circular enclosure.
