Plus, it gives us some idea of the period churches were in use.

Some graveyards in the countryside have no evidence or record of an ecclesiastical origin, but as the Church controlled burial throughout the Middle Ages it is possible that they had a church at one time. Simple burial grounds could also have existed from the introduction of Christianity. In some parts of the country infants and the stillborn were buried in separate, unmarked graveyards, called ‘Killeens’. These are quite rare in Co. Wexford and are only known through local traditions.
