What is recorded here

Indicated is a D-shaped graveyard at the SE end of a low ridge in County Meath, where a fortified church stands beside headstones spanning 1719 to 1890. Beneath the northern lane wall lies a medieval boundary, suggesting the graveyards and churches layered time itself. People may have walked this ridge for centuries, marking death and memory with stone while the land kept their names hidden.

Situated at the SE end of a low NW-SE ridge. The fortified parish church of Killeen (ME038-013----), which is on the site of the older structure, is within a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 50m WNW-ESE; c. 45m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls, with the straight side at N where it is bordered by a lane, but excavation (05E0414) found a medieval wall beneath the N lane wall, which may be the original boundary of the graveyard (Baker 2009, 66). The headstones date mainly from c. 1719 to c. 1890, with some later ones. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 18 March, 2015
