What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on the northern outskirts of Ballyboghil village, a rectangular hedge-enclosed box of raised earth where new housing presses close to the east while open countryside stretches beyond. The remains of a church still lie within its bounds, accompanied by mouldings repurposed as grave markers, evidence that death and memory have occupied this ground for generations. It remains active, meaning the dead are not finished speaking; they are simply waiting for the living to return and keep the conversation going.

Located on the northern outskirts of Ballyboghil village in an open site that enjoys good views of the surrrounding countryside. A laneway skirts the S of the graveyard. There is new housing immediately to its E. It has been extended to the west. The graveyard is rectangular in plan (L 50m, Wth 35m) and is enclosed by a hedge. Its interior is raised above the level of the external ground level. Within the graveyard are the remains of a church (DU007-010001-). SE of the church there are a number of mouldings used as grave markers. Graveyard previously surveyed in 1992 (Egan). Still in use.
