Lichyard
From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
A lichyard is a type of graveyard in Westeros. The lichyard at Winterfell is located near the First Keep. The servants of the old Kings of Winter are buried beneath headstones spotted with lichen.[1] The lichyard of Castle Black is by the eastern road below the Wall, near ancient tombs.[2]
