What is recorded here

Quaker burial customs and local memory still shape the quiet grass at Ballitore. The Friends believed death should not become a stage for human pride, so they denied themselves tall monuments and public display. That refusal left behind a different kind of record: a level ground where equality could be seen without explanation. The village remembered the teaching because the land still repeats it.
At the top of a long gentle W-facing pasture slope. Contains a ruined church (KD031-014----) and a font (KD031-014002-). A well-maintained rectangular area (c. 50m E-W; c. 35m N-S) contains numerous burials, the earliest legible of which date to the 19th-century.
