Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard is a small, roughly rectangular graveyard on the NE-facing slope of a ridge in County Kilkenny, Ireland. A medieval church occupies its SE angle, while pasture surrounds the rest. By 1839, new burials had moved to the Parish Chapel Yard, leaving this place neglected. Carrigan noted only one or two inscribed stones dating from about the beginning of the 19th century.
