What is recorded here

Whitestown Burial Gd. is a living graveyard in County Dublin, Ireland, where new graves still appear beside older stones. It overlooks the Rogerstown estuary, and its earliest section rises slightly above the ground before leveling out near the roadside. The place has grown south and east as generations needed room, but the old heart remains raised, marked by 18th and 19th century memorials near the church gable. Death and memory still belong there.
