What is recorded here

Burial Gd is a triangular enclosed graveyard in County Louth, Ireland, marked on the 1938 OS 6-inch map and adjoining Calvery Cemetery to the east. In the 1930s it was called the pauper's graveyard, a blunt name for the place where the poorest dead were set aside. The sharp angles and separate boundary suggest exclusion rather than ornament, as if the living wanted the distance visible but the dead kept within a line.
