That combination, recognised as significant but largely undocumented in accessible form, places it among a category of sites that slip through the ordinary routes of curiosity: too old to be merely modern, too forgotten to be well described.

Rossinan itself is a small rural townland, and graveyards of this kind in Kilkenny frequently have their roots in early medieval or later ecclesiastical settlement, sometimes associated with a parish church long since fallen, a holy well, or a pattern site where communities gathered on a saint's feast day. Without documented specifics it is not possible to say with confidence which of these threads, if any, runs through Rossinan's burial ground. What can be said is that the site's inclusion in the national monuments record signals that it carries some degree of antiquity or archaeological interest that sets it apart from an ordinary modern cemetery.
