What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on a low rise in County Kildare, its mortared stone wall enclosing two centuries of buried life beneath heavy grass. The levelled church foundations in the northwest sector suggest a worshipper once walked this exact path before disappearing into memory. You may still stand inside that rectangle, listen to the wind move through vacant air, and feel the shape of the missing building press against your skin.

On a low rise in open, gently undulating pasture. A roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 45m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall with an entrance gate at E. The legible grave markers in the heavily overgrown interior date to the 18th and 19th-century. Traces of the foundations of a levelled church (KD023-002----) survive in the NW sector and there is a small, probably 19th-century, watch-house (KD023-002002-) at E.
