What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Kilkenny is a rectangular graveyard entered from the west, where the old Kilkenny to Stonyford road once passed before the N10 bypassed it. Headstones from the late 18th and early 19th century still stand beside the medieval church in the north-east angle, marking deaths that happened before roads were drawn or redrawn. The graveyard does not need a dramatic story; it keeps the ordinary fact that people lived, died and were remembered in this exact place.

A rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 80m E-W; c. 45m N-S), entered on the W side, from what was formerly the old Kilkenny to Stonyford road, this portion of which has been bypassed by the realigned road (N10). The medieval church (KK023-081001-) is located in the NE angle of a graveyard. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 371-2) mentions a number of headstones in the graveyard which date to the late 18th/early 19th century. He also mentions a medieval graveslab (KK023-081003-) within the church (ibid.). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 6 September 2021
