What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Kildare holds table-tombs and headstones spanning the 18th to 20th centuries inside a mortared stone wall, with a ruined church and mortuary chapel at its centre. It sits seventy metres south and down slope from the Carbury castle complex, a short walk from power and pride. The dead may have watched the castle rise and fall, steady beneath its changing masters.
On level ground c. 70m to the S and down slope from the Carbury castle complex (KD008-001001-, KD008-001002-, KD008-001003- and KD008-001004-). A rectangular area (dims. L c. 48m E-W; Wth c. 44m) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall with entrance gate at the SE corner. It contains the remains of a church (KD008-001005-) and a mortuary chapel (KD008-001007-) at it's centre, and legible burial markers (table-tombs and headstones) date from the 18th to the 20th c.
