What is recorded here

Grave Yard preserves the ruined Kilfinny church inside a square limestone wall on undulating pasture near Limerick. A chest tomb dated 1745 and headstones from 1797 mark continuity across centuries, while a holy well waits six metres outside the western wall. The place still receives the dead, keeps its boundary, and gives the region one of its oldest visible layers of memory.
