What is recorded here

Grave Yard occupies a narrow ridge above the River Barrow in County Kildare, holding nineteenth and twentieth century stones beside a church, holy well and holy tree. Its cramped trapezoid shape suggests people valued proximity to water, faith and ancestry more than space. The river likely carried life, death and memory between them, while the ridge kept the place visible from the land.

On a low, narrow N-S ridge bordering the E bank of the River Barrow. A trapeziodal shaped area (dims. L c. 70m NW-SE; Wth at NW c. 50m; Wth at SE c. 25m) enclosed by a poorly preserved stone wall. Legible gravestones date from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The interior contains a church (KD035-003001-), a holy well (KD035-003002-) and a holy tree (KD035-003004-).
