What is recorded here

Killogan Graveyard preserves a broken bossed cross and an oval fenced enclosure in County Carlow, suggesting the old Cill Eogain named by O'Donovan. The shaft still carries a hint of interlace, though fragments leave its full shape to imagination. What is certain is that this is a burial ground where stone, fence and memory continue to mark the dead.
