Welcome to Preban graveyard in the town land of Preban surrounded by the
Appendix 3 - Wicklow People Articles ...........112 town lands of Kilballyowen Tomcoyle Tankersley and Ballinglen and in the parish

of Annacurra. To the east stands Croghan Kinsella and to the south and west
stand Lugnaquilla and Keadeen. This graveyard has served the needs of the
Appendix 4 - Geophysical Survey ........................115 local communities and beyond for centuries. During the course of the 20th

century the graveyard suffered from neglect, perhaps because of lack of use,
and became seriously covered in vegetation. During the period 1937 to 2012

only 71 people were buried there, less than one per annum, so it is easy to
understand why so little attention was paid to its deterioration.
