What is recorded here

Graves marks a burial place beside the Gibbet Rath in County Kildare, where tradition claims Crown Forces under General Duff killed insurgents in 1798. The name appeared on the 1838 map, preserving a warning that the land still remembers the violence done there.

Named 'Graves' on the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map some 80m W of the Gibbet Rath (KD023-042----). Traditionally, the rath was the scene of a massacre of insurgents by Crown Forces under General Duff in 1798, and the 'Graves' may be associated with that event.
