What is recorded here

Grave Yard in Kilteely, County Limerick, holds St. Bridget's church site beneath later stones, with William Lundon's statue watching the entrance and the Guerin monument rising off-centre like a household altar. The L-shaped rubble walls enclose two centuries of burial, modern extension, and fragments from an older church kept nearby rather than lost. What is missing is not absence but depth: a place where worship, death and memory were layered until they became one ground.
