What is recorded here

Indicated is a graveyard in County Kildare where plain stones mark most burials south of its church. The low mortared wall and remaining earthen bank suggest an older ecclesiastical enclosure beneath the present pasture edge. Three dated headstones near the south wall place continuous mourning there through the 18th and 19th centuries.

In open, level, improved pasture c. 20m W of a steep, modern embankment bordering the SW-flowing Slate River. A sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 70m NW-SE; Wth c. 50m) is enclosed by a low, mortared stone wall (T 0.6m) and contains a church (KD017-007----) to SE of centre, to the S of which the majority of burials occur; marked by small, plain stones. Three headstones near the S wall date to the 18th and 19th c. Along the N and E, the enclosing wall retains an earthen bank which may be the remains of an earlier, ecclesiastical enclosure (KD017-007002-).
