Grave Yard

Grave Yard in County Kildare is a small stone-walled burial ground holding a ruined church, three cross slabs and a font fragment, evidence that people worshipped and buried their dead there long before the nineteenth-century markers now visible. It sits beside an old laneway that may have joined the Naas to Glendalough pilgrimage route, with Toberkevin well nearby, suggesting this quiet corner belonged to a sacred corridor rather than a forgotten field. The granite boulder marked with footprints, a crozier point and an incised cross invites wonder about whose feet pressed into it and whose prayers shaped the valley around it.
