What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Kilkenny is a sub-rectangular graveyard enclosed by a stone wall, with a medieval church set centrally inside and newer headstones clustered to its south. The narrow laneway from the public road leads past living memory into old stone, where the church and residential tower still mark the heart of the place.
