Grave Yd. (Disused)

Grave Yd. (Disused) is a graveyard in County Louth, Ireland, marked on the 1908 OS 6-inch map as a sub-rectangular enclosure roughly 50m E-W and 20m N-S, with the remains of a late medieval church at its NE corner. It stopped being used before that map was drawn, yet the boundary and church ruins still define a place where people once buried their dead and stood beside them in rain or sunlight. The name preserves what the land did: it received the dead, held them, and waited for the living to return.
