What is recorded here

Templedooath Grave Yard holds dead people beneath a gentle Kildare slope where a tall communications mast watches from the north. Its cross-capped stone wall encloses nearly two acres, and the oldest legible marker dates to 1794. Burials cluster south of centre, close to a possible church site in the northwest corner. The place is ordinary enough, yet the mast gives it a modern edge, as if the dead still receive signals from the living world.

On a long, gentle W-facing slope. A tall communications mast to the N overlooks the site. A roughly rectangular area (max. dims. L c. 80m E-W; Wth c. 45m) is defined by a well-built, cross-capped, mortared stone wall which is repaired with concrete along the N. A modern drain runs E-W inside the S limits. Burials are concentrated at, and to the S of, centre on the more gently sloping ground, and the earliest legible headstone is dated 1794. A possible church site (KD008-006001-) lies in the NW corner.

Templedooath Grave Yard is a medieval cemetery, likely dating to the early to high medieval period (c. 700–1200 AD). Its significance lies in its potential association with a now-destroyed ecclesiastical site, reflecting early Christian burial practices in rural Ireland.
