What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Limerick holds the ruined Kilquane church at its heart, a rectangular patch of dark earth surrounded by a post-1700 stone wall. Broken church features scatter across the grass like forgotten bones, waiting for someone to remember what they once supported. The dead have crowded this place for centuries, patient and unchanged while the living come and go.

The medieval church ruins (LI055-021001-) of Kilquane stands in centre of graveyard which consists of a rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 37m N-S x 60m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall with entrance gate at N end of W wall. Several architectural features taken from Kilquane Church lie scattered around the graveyard (pers. comm. Sarah McCutcheon 12/02/2021).

Medieval Christian graveyard, associated with the ruins of a 13th- to 15th-century church. Its significance lies in its potential to provide insights into local medieval religious practices and community burial customs.
