What is recorded here

Indicated is a graveyard beside Dunmoe castle where headstones from 1722 to 1920 still stand within masonry walls. The place sits on a south-facing slope above the River Boyne, close enough for water to feel like a living boundary rather than a distant fact. Its font has moved to St. Oliver Plunkett in Navan, carrying a part of the old church into another town. What remains is a small sharp circle of stone, memory and loss, still touching the life of the river below.

Situated at the edge of a S-facing slope down to a W-E section of the SW-NE River Boyne, with the stream c. 100m to the S. The parish church of Dunmoe (ME025-018001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30-35m E-W) defined by masonry walls with headstones dating from c. 1722 - c. 1920. The font (ME025-018004-) is now at the Roman Catholic church of St. Oliver Plunkett, in St. Mary’s Park in Navan (ME025-038----). Dunmoe castle (ME025-018002-) is immediately adjacent outside the graveyard to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 27 June, 2014
