The gravestones of St. Canice’s graveyard were read in the 1996-98 period.  I have four or five transcriptions that were not legibile by the time that the stones in St. Canice’s were read as part of the historicgraves initiative.

The following photographs were taken in June, 2013

Ireland.


From Lewis Topographical Dictionary (1837) “AGHABOE, or AUGHAVOE, a parish, in the barony of UPPER OSSORY, QUEEN’S county, and province of LEINSTER, on the road from Dublin to Roscrea; containing, with the post-town of Burros-in-Ossory, 6196 inhabitants. This place, originally called Achadh-Bho, and signifying in the Irish language “the field of an ox,” derived that name from the fertility of its soil and the luxuriance of its pastures. It was celebrated at a very early period as the residence of St. Canice, who, in the 6th century, founded a monastery here for the cultivation of literature and religious discipline; and so great was his reputation for learning and sanctity, that a town was soon formed around it for the reception of his numerous disciples….”
