Grave Yd. is a graveyard in County Limerick where a 19th century Kilmurry C. of I. church stands on the site of a medieval church. The old rectangular yard measured about 52m north-south and 68m east-west, enclosed by a post-1700 stone wall with a western gate. It later extended eastward until its boundary touched Castletroy, pulling more buried life into the same quiet dark.
