Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Limerick holds a strange layer of time: the oldest stone marks 1804, yet the ground where the early 18th century parish church stood was reused for burials in the 1930s. The graveyard is not a discarded place; it is a continuing one, with the new graveyard adjoining to the south. Under its coursed wall and iron gate, Kildimo keeps remembering by adapting, not repeating.
Sub-rectangular graveyard (36m N-S; 52m E-W) enclosed by roughly coursed mortared stone wall (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.5m); approached from road to E via short avenue, wrought iron entrance gate with stone piers. Earliest headstone noted dated 1804. Area where early 18th century C of I parish church of Kildimo (LI012-036001-) stood contains headstones dating from 1930s. New graveyard adjoins to S.
