What is recorded here

Kilderry is a small townland on the western crest of a river valley, where a wide deep trench once enclosed a quarter acre of earth beside a church and graveyard. Human bones surfaced there, linking the denuded polygonal enclosure to lives lost before the house rose. The land still holds that buried depth, waiting for rain or memory to draw it upward.

On the W crest of a small river valley and E edge of rolling grasslands. There are good views in all directions. There is a much denuded polygonal enclosure (KK015-042001-) immediately W of a church (KK015-024001-) and graveyard (KK015-024002-). According to O'Kelly (1969, 83), 'There is a wide, deep trench enclosing a square area of ¼ acre west of the house [Kilderry House] and human bones were unearthed here'. These burials may relate to the polygonal enclosure or to the adjacent graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 15 March 2016
