What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Limerick holds a rectangular stone-walled field beside the ruined medieval parish church of Killeedy and the holy well of St Ida. Its oldest visible marker dates to 1781, though most headstones appeared later, suggesting continuous burial through changing centuries. The graveyard still receives the dead, its northern edge extended recently to make room for more grief and more memory.

In undulating pasture, on E side of road. Rectangular graveyard (71m E-W; 52m N-S) enclosed by stone wall, entrance gate and style at S end of W wall. In use, with recent extension to N. Earliest inscribed headstone noted dated 1781, but most headstones late 19th and 20th century. At E side ruin of medieval parish church of Killeedy (LI044-101001-), and at W side holy well of St Ida (LI044-101003-). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
