What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Kilmore, County Meath, holds burials from at least 1734 to the present inside earthen banks and trees on a slight rise above a level landscape. A 16th-century graveslab still lies south of the parish church, while the churchyard cross now stands outside the Roman Catholic church at Moynalvy, two and a half kilometres northwest. The place is not finished or forgotten; it keeps receiving the dead, keeping its old stones company in plain daylight.

Located on a slight rise in a level landscape. The parish church of Kilmore (ME043-042----) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m WNE-ESE; c. 35-50m NNE-SSW) defined by earthen banks and trees. Headstones dating from 1734 to 1960 have been recorded (Moore 1975, 39-45), but burial continues to the present. The 16th century graveslab (ME043-042002-) is displayed just S of the church, and the churchyard cross (ME0432-042003-) from here is now displayed outside the Roman Catholic church at Moynalvy (ME043-028001-), c. 2.5km to the NW. A section of roadway (ME043-042004-) survives just to the N with the field system (ME043-041----) to the N of it. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 March, 2015
