What is recorded here

Burial ground in Kyle (scarawalsh By.) is a burial ground in Kyle (scarawalsh By.), County Wexford, Ireland. Situated on a gentle east-facing slope on the lower foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains, the site features a wedge-shaped grass and scrub-covered area with a north-south stream located approximately seventy metres to the east. A stone-clad earthen bank and hedge define the church field, which is stony inside and contains two upright stones that are probably grave-markers due to a local tradition of burial.
