The Shocking Reason Behind the Warning, cemetery in the wood

- This Graveyard blew my mind, feels like a place you'd find vampires and Gouls.
A sign that says KEEP OUT but I still got inside. plus a very unusual find.
There is a 1622 headstone, the oldest I've found.
So, it is a parish in the barony of Idrone East, County Carlow. Besides, this place which is situated near the River Barrow was anciently the seat of the Kavanaghs, Kings of Leinster. The ancient territory of Idrone and Fort, also Glascarring in County Wexford, was granted by Strongbow to his brother Raymond le Gros. He in turn granted them to the Carew family. They owned estates at Dunleckney (caput of the barony) and at Techmullin (St. Mullins). A William Carew (d. 1213 A.D.) gave the advowson of Dunleckney with burgages there. And also at St. Mullins to the Nunnery of Graney in Co. Kildare before 1207 A.D. This Abbey, founded around 1200 A.D. by Walter de Riddelesword, was officially dissolved in 1583 A.D. And King Henry VIII granted the lands to Lord Leonard Grey, Marshall of Ireland
In fact, Gaelic monks founded a monastery nearby at Aghta in the 6th century (St. Fintan).
Moreover, in 1300 A.D. a preceptory of the Knights Templars was founded here. Continued only until 1308 A.D. when it was suppressed. A preceptory of the Knights Templars is purported to have existed at the nearby Ballymoon Castle (possibly they are one and the same).
Furthermore, in the wooded area, adjacent to the graveyard (west boundary) is a large mound. There are reasons to believe that this was the site of a Norman motte. A garrison of Knights, with squires and servants was located here in the late 12th-early 13th Century. The evidence for the motte and bailey is both historical and visually evident. An existing natural mound was used but reshaped to the new requirements, e.g. raising the overall height. Another factor in the choice of many sites was the presence of an existing church nearby. According to the Archeological Inventory of Co. Carlow, there are eight motte in the county, including Dunleckney and St. Mullins. The area around the motte is at present overgrown with dense woodland and undergrowth. A larger settlement was later established a short distance away to the west, coinciding with the grounds of Dunleckney Manor house and outbuildings.
The detached three-bay, single-cell Church of Ireland was built in the late eighteenth century. But abandoned in the mid-nineteenth century when service transferred to St. Mary`s Church, Bagenalstown. The walled enclosure adjoining the west wall of the church was a common feature of churches of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Reserved for the landowner`s family, it contains tombstones for members of the Bagenal and Newton families. Colonel Newton married into the Bagenal family. Walter Bagenal founded the nearby town of Bagenalstown in the 1700s. He had a vision of mirroring the city of Versailles in northern France. And built a grand courthouse and some public buildings. Shortly after, his efforts were frustrated by the re-routing of the coach road away from the town. His courthouse is now the town library.
So, according to local tradition, during the Penal Law period, the bell of this church was rung half an hour before Sunday mass. A large Church of Ireland parish in those days, it had a vicar and curate presiding. During the early 1990`s a violent storm blew down the belfry
The present remains consist of a rectangular structure which is probably medieval in date. In this church is a plaque to the memory of two eighteenth-century parish priests. It was erected by Fr. Michael Prendergast in 1810 and commemorates his uncle and grand-uncle both, like himself, priests of Dunleckney. This reveals a typical tradition of priesthood within Irish families. About the middle of the 18th century, Roman Catholic services were transferred to a timber church at Khnocknacorrah nearer the town, but still on Dunleckney estate. This church of the Penal Law period was in use for about 80 years, before the present parish of Bagenalstown was formed early in the 19th century, St Andrew’s Church became the parish church. This church was located next to a row of lime trees that still grow there.
There is also a private graveyard for the Bagenals, Newtons, and Veseys of Dunleckney Manor. This area, known as the Newton Plot, was originally outside of the boundary of the main graveyard. It became part of the main graveyard when the graveyard was extended along the south and west boundaries in 1846 A.D. approx. It is enclosed by a yew tree. The old road to Newtown passed along the west and north boundaries of the graveyard. The entrance to the graveyard is on the partial remains of this road

Hey beautiful
HI Sue, that is a hauntingly beautiful cemetery. My Sincere Condolences to You for the loss of Cathy. May she Rest in the Loving Arms of God. May God Bless You.
This Life is but a Journey to a much Greater Place, and these cemeteries remind me of the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
Thanks so much ❤️
What makes it more eerie is the squawking of the crows, loved this place . Thanks for takes us there 💗🐨
It sets the ambience for sure!
Yes, I loved it here too
You mentioned leprechauns. About 8 or 9 years ago I went to a local bar. There was only a couple of people there. One of em was using the bar stools as a bed. He was soused to the gills. Now I was wearing a plain green T-shirt and a fedora, and this dude sits up and asks me "Are you a leprechaun?" And in my best, put on, Irish accent I say to him "Aye! Would ya like to see me shillelagh?"
😅😅😅 brilliant 👏
I love the old cemeteries, I also love the way. You talk about the history of the people.❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much 💓
That little wooded area was stunning. I could sit there all day and take tons of pics to keep the memory of it. That whole graveyard was beautiful, and the church ruins were lovely. Good on ya for going inside! Stay safe! ❤
Thank you, yes it's very photogenic
Very touching tribute to Cathy Myers’s may she R.I.P thanks Sue,GV,🙏🙏🙏👍
RIP Cathy 🙏
Last summer,my sister took me to a cemetary where we have a distant relative buried there with his wife. This was out in the countryside along a dirt road. We searched and searched for the grave stones,but never found them. My sis was puzzled,for she had visited it the year before,and that it was next to a cow pastures along a fence. It was odd. We never could find it,and it was a good sized marker stone. I told my sis it was okay,because our relative knew we had come to pay our respects. Thank you ,Sue for this beautiful tour. I appreciate your love and dedication you give to those who we never knew,and have now passed on. God bless,dear. From Oklahoma U.S.
I agree Rebecca, it's strange the headstone couldn't be found but yes your relative knew you visited
@SerenitySueGraveyards It's the love we hold in our hearts that matters most. God 🙌
@@rebeccasmith2865 absolutely ❤️💓

Oh the Church was so beautiful.
Great video Sue.
Thank you ❤️
That is positively one of the most beautiful cemeteries I have ever seen! Rest in heavenly peace Cathy Myers.😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you ❤️
The walled private small cemetery is eerie but beautiful and the Celtic crosses with the knot engravings are wonderful. Such history in this place is great to see and hear about. Thank you Sue. Watching from County Antrim 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Hi Jules, hoping to get to Antrim soon
Sue thank you for bringing us to our longago home, God bless you !
It's my pleasure
LOVE these beautiful old cemeteries. Gorgeous stones, the inscriptions and history. thank you so much my xx Teresa ❤🇦🇺
Thanks so much ❤️
Oh i could just sit in that place and dream. What a lovely place to get inspired and relax. Thank you for showing us. RIP dear Cathy.😢
Thank you
The main thing is that, having dozed off and relaxed, you do not fall through an opening rotten grave, between the moving apart, cracking tombstones.✝☦✝🛐
The cemetery is not a place for dreamings, but a place for the dead and the undead.
The old overgrown part of the graveyard was beautiful I totally agree and was even saying it to myself as you said it. Now with the hole in the old church there's only one thing for it... You may send Cathal down as we all want to know what's going on 😂😂 fantastic video Sue..❤
😂😂 if I had a hand up I'd of gone myself 😅
@@SerenitySueGraveyards 😂
That hole there gave me the creeps. I kept watching and was hoping you did not fall in any holes there. I could only imagine falling in a old grave and trying to get out of it.The scenery there was beautiful. Good work.👍
Love the scenery of years past. Beautiful countryside and thank you for your continued sharing of these wonderful videos
My pleasure, thank you ❤️
Amazing place Sue ❤❤❤ some parts are indeed like fairytale scènes. Thank you for taking us along on all these great trips.❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it, my pleasure
Rip Cathy

Best graveyard video I've ever seen. Thank you. Please be careful with out there.
Wow, thanks so much ❤️
I love accents and you have such a pleasant accent to listen to. Makes your videos calming to watch amongst the chaos of CZcams.
Ahh thanks so much ❤️
Another great video SIP CATHY 🙏🙏 you are so thoughtful Sue to decate this amazing video in her memory...love you
Thanks Irene, it's very sad to hear
Wow Sue you brave 😅. The crows really give the air of a horror movie starting expecting something to happen. Thank you for sharing once again so beautiful nature in her glory. God bless you take care 🙏🏻.
Thanks Marie, the crows, they were very noisey
Hello all the way from the Caribbean island of trinidad and Tobago.
Once again I love this video
Yay! Thank you!
This place is so magical looking all mythical creatures live there and watch over it for sure
Oh I definitely felt it was a land for fairies
I enjoy coming on your trips with you and you are always so respectful.Thank you.Ann.

Thank you for taking us to this wonderful graveyard. May Cathy rest in peace but rise in glory.
Thank you ❤️
One of my favorite graveyards that I've seen on your channel. Thank you very much for bringing that to us. You could probably spend days there filming. Miss Sue😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Love the sound of the crows, seems they always have liked cemeteries. Beautiful tour around the cemetery. Just liked and subscribed. Thanks Sue for all your work in making the videos. God Bless.
Thanks and welcome Valerie 🙏
Absolutely stunning cemetery Sue. I could have wandered around in there for hours!
You and me both!
A most beautiful place.The greenery is awesome and I love the little brown paths curving through the graveyard. I really enjoy hearing the history. Thanks Sue.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you ❤️
This was so absolutely breathtaking....such a beautiful tour showing a beautiful church. You really went far above and fabulous on this one Sue❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Thanks so much Deborah, I appreciate it
What a gorgeous spot this is Sue
Thanks Cathy ❤️
Lots of history in that cemetery I would love to visit There good video
Thanks so much ❤️
Such a stunning gorgeous place ....seems magical ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It really is!
Beautiful cemetery! I think those holes in the ruin was the celling of a crypt that has collapsed.
Oh that might be right, as there seems to be an area built up too there
So Beautiful Sue...Enchanting this place ...May sound strange for a cemetery but really it is. Love the beautiful Celtic crosses. Thank You ❤️ for showing this lovely place.
I think so too Tracy ❤️💓
Beautiful as always. Love going on adventures with you. 🥰
More to come! Thank you
What a fantastic find of a graveyard! I have this fascination of old graves, 1700's and older. Only a few out here in the US that old.
Me too, were blessed to have many old graveyards here
What another magical gem you have brought us Sue! I am getting used to seeing those Yew trees now. It is amazing how many branches come out of the ground to form such a sturdy tree. I loved the look of this special grave yard with matching headstones and iron crosses. Thank for remembering Cathy Myers at the beginning of your video. Bless you Sue, you are very much appreciated. Love & Hugs, Janet 🙏♥️🇮🇪
You are so welcome Janet, thank you ❤️
very sad to head about Cathy Myers 😢 may she RIP 🙏 another lovely video Sue
Thanks Julia ❤️
It's absolutely breath taking ..mother nature really out did her self on this 1❤❤❤ Your a awesome lady bringing us these amazing videos ❤❤
Thanks so much Robin, Mother Nature is wonderful
Este cementerio me ha parecido fantástico tiene un ambiente bucólico como los de la época victoriana y eso lo hace muy especial, por cierto Susan tienes unos preciosos ojos azul claro, no me había fijado antes
Thanks Juan, appreciate it, yes the graveyard has the beauty of nature all around
What a beautiful Graveyard. Plenty of history. Plus the church. 👏
It's a gorgeous place Kev
Hello Sue…hope you’re keeping well!!! This Cemetery is very peaceful…a lovely place to end your days!!! Enjoying your videos…keep up the good work!!! X❤️🙃🙏🏻✝️
Thanks so much Sharon ❤️
Stunning! The crows add such a strange feeling to it.
I love them but they were super noisey. Maybe dating season has started lol
A beautiful and mesmerizing place.
I think the hole was a crypt, too. All that brush over it was put there deliberately as if the hide it. If it were a boiler room I don't think anyone would bother to hode it, but rather put up a warning.
Cathy Myers RIP 🕊️
That's true Ben, 👍
What a beautiful cemetery ! Thanks for sharing this..❤
You're very welcome Donna, thank you ❤️
That really is beautiful. I love the ivy. It just claims everything. Pretty on the stones. Shame it'll pull them down.
Eventually it will, Ivy is very beautiful but also very damaging
RIP Cathy M 🙏
Thank you
Lovely graveyard…despite the murder of crows! 💖💖
Your like me curiosity gets the best of us. That was an interesting find. I loved the churches! 😊
Thanks Pamela ❤️
They become immortal with your remembrance dear Sue. ❤️
The Ancient Egyptians believed that too.
Thanks so much, for years I've felt attracted to this place, it's happened to me a few times where I yearn to go back
It's so obvious to me that your gift is meant to be shared.
Thank you ❤️
What a beautiful graveyard and a fascinating find.But please be careful.
Thanks Mary, I will
magnificent church yard, the ambiance is terrific. thank you Sue, another great show.
Thanks Peter ❤️
Loved it. So green. What makes it so beautiful is the ivy growing over everything. LL from canada
It is beautiful
G'day there Sue, this is a most beautiful country-side graveyard including the church ruins as well, I have become a ardent fan of your channel, the videography is superb along with the very informative narrative, being Australian it gives me great consternation when you point out some of those older graves especially the one's from the early to mid 1700's as my country at this time was yet to be discovered by European settlers and as you say the scenery surrounding the graves is quite gorgeous indeed, by preserving these images are keeping alive the countless have have passed, in my opinion this is most admirable, Many Thanks for the wonderful explore, keep safe & God Bless... from Queensland's Sunshine Coast, 'Oz'
Thank you for your generous Donation, that is very much appreciated. I just love what I do and it gives me a huge sense of Joy, know others enjoy this too 💖
That is a old cemetery and in real good shape for the ages on the stones.Great Video.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you
Nice garden setting to this one.
Yes, it's a pretty place John
The crows perfectly add to the ambience.
They do, sounded like they were Having a fight over something
One of your very best videos, by the way. Truly gorgeous. What we hope every burial ground will be. We have nothing in the States like you have in Ireland. My whole life, I've loved cemeteries. I love yours the most.
Beautiful for sure.❤
I think so too!
I know it would have been a stupid thing to do, but clearing away that debris to see exactly what's down there would have been so tempting if I'd been there with you. You have a good head on your shoulders Sue. Great graveyard walkabout, Thanks.
I did think of that too bit definitely not on my own
Another lovely older graveyard. Thanks for your channel. Ireland has lovely country. RIP to Cathy.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the place but I about fell out my chair with the fast forward. It made me laugh
😂😂😂 I sound like a leprechaun in it, glad you had a giggle ❤️❤️
Just love the old one's
Me too
Beautiful, stunning, gorgeous landscape!
Many thanks!
Great tour as always
💚☘️👍☘️
Thank you kindly Abigail, your support you show to is is amazing
Sue, I have subscribed because of the respectful nature you have shown these souls.
I only subscribed to specific CZcamsrs based on the character first and foremost, then their quality of their content.
This my first video of yours I watched.
Thank you, this was a beautiful experience for me.
Take Care 💗
Appreciate it Amanda ❤️ Happy Easter
I really enjoyed this video. The old church caught my attention as well as the overgrown grave that looked like a hole in the ground. I was hoping you would not fall into It. I could only imagine the fear of falling into an old hole like that. Keep up your good work.
Thanks so much ❤️
This place is beautiful. It was sweet of you to dedicate this video to Cathy, she would have loved it.
Thanks Sheila ❤️
So much greener down south incredible xxxxx
Without all these beautiful souls before us where you we be , they paved the way for us to have a better life !
Hi Sue what a gorgeous graveyard. I love the way nature has taken over and those trees are awesome. You always make me smile 😊. Take care Sue 💜
Thank you! You too!
That is the most breathtakingly beautiful cemetery I have ever seen. Thanks
You're very welcome
Thank you so much God Bless 🙏❤️
You are so welcome
Very nice video Sue and tribute to Cathy. ❤
Thanks so much
The crows must feel the Spring coming and are causing a ruckus as it is near time to find a mate!
Yes, I think they were fighting over girls lol
The whole graveyard is beautiful but the part in the woods really was almost magical.
I agree, I love the wooded area
Great job sue, you’re awesome 🤩
Thanks so much ❤️
Yew trees! I was wondering what those were. Thank you Sue for giving us an education today. They’re very pretty.
You are so welcome!
This is magical. I can imagine the little people dancing and making merry her at night
Me too ❤️
I fondly remember my first outing here with you, but this was still an incredible adventure Sue. I got 'Creepy Hollow' vibes down in the little section. It's sad that the 1622 stone for Mr Bryan can't be preserved, as is, in some way. And when you found the hole, I was asking you where GV was when we all needed him, lol. Sending my condolences to Cathys loved ones. Take care. Deb of Oz XXX
Thanks Deb, that place has been on my mind for awhile especially the 1622 headstone, its a shame but someone goes there and keeps the grass down. When you walk into the wooded area it definitely feels different
I wish I was an artist.....so many greens and textures. Lovely ambiance , atmosphere.
So beautiful there. Jeez the birds cxxxx
Hello Mc Caffery family from your American family, Sweet Sue is what we call this beautiful Lady showing us our longago home.
Thank you ❤️
For a minute there I thought my phone was going crazy when you speed up lol
😂😂😂 think a few people got caught out on that
As children we made a fort type thing in the horse field across the road. Made with scrap wood from nearby new homes.
Yes, we did too, we used to make mud pies and pretend it was food lol
Its like something from a Grimm's fairy tale beautiful😊
Yes, it was
I love the places you go and your accents Thanks for your videos
Glad you like them!
Fantastic video as always! What a neat cemetery - but I did get a bit scared when you were inside the ruins and the hole 😬.
Sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me lol
Very interesting! The inside of that church was quite dangerous Sue. I would be just like you tho, I gotta see what going on. No judgement here. I would just live to rip at those vibes and stuff. 🥰💪
Thanks so much ❤️
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Wow! What wonder old history in stone-l love the tour with all the greenery but boy those crows could chatter! Yes l agree looks like a crypt as looks like most of the stone work may gone leaving the holes! It’s like stepping back in time! Thank you for sharing
Thanks a million Sue 😊 💕
Thanks sue lovely video very old grave stones interesting thanks take care 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Another beautiful peaceful place on earth. Seems to many passed at such young ages. Looks that you had a pretty day.🥰💗 Thank you for showing the oldest one.... that is so sad to be detreating.
Yes, when I seen this grave first I was so excited, now I feel very sad as its just falling apart
