What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Meath holds Kilcarn church and an extended rectangular burial ground, marked by earthen banks, trees, a surviving cross stone, and one graveslab moved inside the church itself. The lost font now stands in Johnstown, carrying part of the place somewhere else while the yard keeps its own quiet company on the rise.

Located on a rise in a fairly level landscape. The parish church of Kilcarn (ME031-003----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 55m E-W; c. 50m N-S) defined by earthen banks and trees, except on the N where the perimeter has been removed and the graveyard extended (dims c. 75m N-S; c. 55m E-W). The graveslab of Barry Humphry (ME031-003003-) is within the church (FitzGerald 1908) and a small cross-inscribed stone (ME031-003004-) is in the graveyard, but the decorated font (ME031-003002-) from this church (Roe 1968, 65-6) is now in the Roman Catholic church at Johnstown c. 900m to the NNW.
