What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Louth Hall occupies a small hillock in County Louth, preserving a rounded boundary around the remains of a probable fifteenth or sixteenth century church. Its earliest noted headstone belongs to the Darcy family and dates from about 1770, while the shape of the ground suggests an older sacred enclosure. The missing church may have been taken apart, buried or worn away, but the graveyard still marks the place where people lived, believed and died.
