Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a small stone-walled enclosure on the southern edge of a narrow valley in County Kildare, still used for burial though its earliest legible markers date to the nineteenth century. It sits beside a ruined church holding three cross slabs and a font fragment, near Toberkevin holy well and an old laneway that may have joined the Naas to Glendalough pilgrimage route. Trees now overgrow the square ground, making the place feel less like a recorded site and more like a forgotten chamber waiting to be remembered.
In a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD003-002001-) which also contains a church (KD003-002002-). Still in use, with the earliest legible grave markers dating to the 19th c. Visible as being overgrown with trees in a recent aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto 2005). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
