Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Meath holds Kilclone parish deaths from 1760 onward inside a D-shaped bank on a slight rise above level land. Its straight western and southern edges face a small stream and public road, while the earthen rim and outer ditch enclose the older stones on every other side. People have carried dead across that open southern gap for generations, past the road and into the kept ground.
Situated on a slight rise in a level landscape. The site of the parish church of Kilclone (ME050-014----) is in a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 60m NNE-SSW; c. 55m WNW-ESE) with straight sides at W and S. The perimeter is defined by an earthen bank (at NE: Wth 4m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 2.4m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 5.3m; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.8m) on every side except the S where there is a WNW-ESE section of a small N-S stream and a public road. The headstones date from c. 1760 to the present.
