What is recorded here
Grave Yard in County Limerick holds a ruined medieval church inside a post-1700 wall, overlooking Robertstown River mudflats. Memorials from the 18th century to modern times mark the sub-rectangular ground beside Robertstown Castle and the old mill site. The dead have watched the river change for centuries, making the place both ancient and quietly present.
