Grave Yard

Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Meath concentrates a round tower, four high crosses and dense medieval carving inside one rectangular enclosure, preserving the Columban community that once gathered around the daimhliag. Masonry walls two to three metres high still mark the boundary where prayer, procession and burial crossed, while the church later became a cathedral before returning to parish use. The stones do not need explanation; they arrange memory into a shape the body can walk.
Situated on a level landscape. The parish church of Moymet (ME030-021----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by earthen banks with trees, and it has headstones dating from c. 1772. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 January, 2014
