What is recorded here

Killinkere Graveyard sits on a warm drumlin slope where eighteenth-century slate headstones still catch the light. The drystone wall holds the church and dead together while a masonry section marks the farm lane boundary. People have laid their dead beneath this sky since the early 1700s, making the place a continuous witness to local life.

Located towards the top of the E and S-facing slope of a drumlin. The parish church of Killinkere is conserved within a subcircular graveyard (dims c. 52m E-W; c. 42m N-S) defined by a drystone wall which is replaced by a masonry wall where it borders a farm lane S-W. The graveyard has headstones dating from c. 1720 to c. 1960 including a fine collection of eighteenth century slate headstones. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 18 March 2020
