What is recorded here

Grave Yd. is a D-shaped graveyard on a rise in County Meath, holding headstones from 1780 to 1930 around the vanished medieval parish church of Ballymaglassan. Masonry walls define its straight NE and SE sides, enclosing a quiet place where generations were laid to rest beside a building that no longer shows itself. The flat landscape makes the rise stand out, giving the dead their own small hill and the living a clear marker in the distance.
