Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard occupies the south end of a long avenue on Killadoon Demesne, where a low stone wall and overgrown ivy hide the foundations of a ruined church. The earliest legible headstone dates to 1816, but the buried church suggests worship and death belonged there long before stones were carved. The ground rises slightly above the demesne, as if holding something back from the land around it.
On level ground at the S end of a long avenue on the landscaped Killadoon Demesne. An L-shaped area (dims. L 38m NNE-SSW; Wth along N 31m; Wth along S 16m) is defined by a low mortared stone wall, except along the S where it ends at outbuildings which are part of the courtyard immediately N of Killadoon House. The interior is higher than the surrounding ground (av. H 1m) and is totally overgrown with ivy, ash, holly, laurel and briar. The earliest legible headstone is dated 1816. The foundations of a ruined church (KD0111-006----) lie just N of centre. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
