What is recorded here

Tower Hill Grave Yard and Vault is a small burial ground in County Kilkenny where a mortared vault rises beneath a slab naming Terrence Nowland in 1770. The place sits on a west-facing break between two terraces, exposing the dead to sunset and storm while a low bank holds the boundary against the rolling grassland. A second flat slab marked 1814 lies nearby, suggesting the family or neighbourhood kept returning long after the first stone was set.
