Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a slight rise in County Kildare, holding a ruined church and font within a D-shaped border about forty metres across. Legible markers stretch from the 18th to the 20th century, proving continuous use across generations. The straight eastern edge and gentle pasture setting suggest a practical local choice rather than grand design. People likely buried their dead here because the ground was high, visible and already marked by worship.
