What is recorded here

Marian and I walked into the disused burial ground at Dromolar, where a low grass-covered wall still marks a small rectangular place. The land may have belonged to a lost church, and the absence of grave markers makes the boundary feel both ordinary and unfinished. We stood inside the wall, not as investigators but as guests in a place that stopped being used long before us.

Named 'Burial Ground' on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Rectangular area (15m E-W; 6.5m N-S) enclosed by grass-covered wall (H 1.4m). No grave markers noted. Possible church site (CO082-012002-) also. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
