What is recorded here
Burying Ground in County Longford holds 18th-century memorials inside a rectangular stone wall, marking it as an old Christian death place rather than a forgotten field. Its western extension suggests the community kept growing or kept returning, filling the available earth until the boundary itself had to move. The graveyard may have belonged to a local church, yet even without that name it remains a clean human fact: people died, were remembered, and the town made room for more of them.
Possibly associated with a church (LF018-006----). This rectangular graveyard (E-W c. 55m; N-S c. 45m), which has been extended to the W, is defined by stone wall of 19th or 20th century date. Memorials date from the 18th century.
