What is recorded here

The burial ground in Kilminnin North is in County Waterford, Ireland. It is a small triangular graveyard with masonry walls, measuring about 30 metres from northwest to southeast and 28 metres from north to south. Burials there date from about 1785 to about 1960, and the site sits on a slight rise in a level landscape, about 200 metres east of the Glendine river estuary.
