Ardcandrisk old Graveyard

The graveyard originally surrounded by a stone wall, part of which is intact, dates back to ancient times. In the turbulent days of the 1798 insurrection many of the tombstones were destroyed which hinders research of pre rebellion burials. Victims of the insurrection including the Redmond brothers and many bodies retrieved from the river Slaney were interred here in unmarked graves. A fine headstone marks the resting place of Nicholas and Martin Crosbie who were shot dead by British soldiers at Foulkesmills on 26 June 1798.
In 1998 the centenary year of the insurrection, a memorial stone presented by the Three Rocks Pike Group to commemorate the victims of the rebellion was inserted in the church wall

Peaceful and beautiful walk. So sad for all the overgrowth but quite an adventure. Thanks to you (and Serenity Sue) for taking us along 💜

I love this video, the graveyard is so beautiful and peaceful even in this overgrown state. It's interesting to see the somewhat recent headstones mixed with the very old ones. It's good to see that some are remembered and their graves are cared for. Thank you for videoing and God Bless, guys!

Don’t know whose responsible ( I’m guessing it’s you) but these things have taken time to arrange and film for the presentation, so Thankyou! Great stuff! I love it! 🙋‍♀️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘💕👍

That was so interesting, thank you Irish eyes. It must be frustrating for you and Sue to try walking around unkempt and wild graveyards. I would be worried that you may fall into an old grave that had subsided and you couldn't see it. I agree more should be done to recognise those who fought for their Country. Thank you for all you do. Blessings to you both 💕🇦🇺

I love the older graveyards and cemeteries, so much wonder and atmosphere you leave feeling spiritually refreshed. You know to increase your subscribers and likes you should maybe if it's possible do a grave cleaning, every now and again, there are not many youtube people who do this, just a thought , I think you have to have permission from the parish but they do look lovely when they're done and I like your idea to bring a strimmer along. I love your channel you have a relaxed calming aura about you, an old soul lol. take care.

Grave subsidence refers to the appearance of graves 'sinking'. This is an entirely natural process caused by loosened soil settling into place and the natural process of the coffin collapsing over time you can see the uneven ground. Generally speaking, a body takes 10 or 15 years to decompose into a skeleton. Some of the old Victorian graves hold families of up to eight people. As those coffins decompose, the remains will gradually sink to the bottom of the grave and merge. be careful and try to avoid them, there are stories of people sinking into the grave.
