Wouldn't it be great to twin schools with monuments? Matching experts with the next generations to be caretakers of our heritage. Any class I've ever brought to St. Canice's Graveyard in Finglas has been blown away by it. I'm hoping the same for Old Kilpipe in the future.

These lovely bee boles were uncovered during recent conservation works to a section of the town wall in Castledermot, Co Kildare. A bee bole is a cavity or alcove in a wall for beekeeping. #IWTN #Castledermot #Kildare #Beeboles

I love all of the detail on these headstones in Abbey Graveyard, located in a carpark, in Arklow. Look at the foot of the crucifix in the first image or the moon. The depiction of Our Lady in the second or the Cullen masterpiece in the third. Incredible heritage, largely unknown.
