What is recorded here
Old Grave Yard is a burial ground in Kilpatrick (moyashel & Magheradernon By.), County Westmeath, Ireland. A 1980 survey recorded the site as a small sub-triangular enclosure bounded by a stone wall seemingly of 19th century date, with access provided by a stile near the northwest corner. The ground inside was described as rather uneven, while a double bank and a fosse ran outside the graveyard on the eastern side. The canal skirted the south side of the site, which was situated on low-lying rushy pasture land.
