What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Longford is a subcircular graveyard enclosed by a stone wall that may mirror an early monastic boundary. Its wide wrought-iron gate opens onto memorials spanning the 19th to 21st centuries, while a modern car park now occupies the northern sector. The place holds both ancient devotion and ordinary loss, marking how human memory keeps shaping even when its oldest meanings fade.

Possible associated with an early monastery (see LF005-010001-). This roughly subcircular graveyard (70m N-S; 62m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall from NNE-S-NNW. A modern concrete block wall cuts across the N sector at NNW and NNE and the area to the N of it is now used as a car park. The enclosing wall may mirror the line of an ecclesiastical enclosure. The main access point is a wide, wrought-iron gate in the N wall. Memorials date from the 19th to the 21st centuries. (Lennon 2005) Compiled by: Patrick F.
