What is recorded here

Indicated is a walled graveyard in County Kildare where a modern church sits beside ruins old enough to have been medieval. Stone fragments from Lackagh Castle and the older church were reused as grave markers, blending sacred, domestic and funerary lives into one place. The field still holds that layered history beneath ordinary pasture.

On level pasture c. 35m ENE of Lackagh Castle (KD022-017----), and c. 200m E of a motte (KD022-016----). Contains a modern church on the site of a possible older, medieval church (KD022-018----) A roughly rectangular area (L c. 80m; Wth c. 60m) is enclosed by a stone wall. While the legible grave markers are modern, an architectural fragment reused as a burial marker may have come from the older church; a round window head (Wth 0.5m; H 0.35m; T 0.18m); and a window transom (L 0.65m; Wth 0.2m; H 0.2m) also reused as a grave marker may be from Lackagh Castle.
