What is recorded here
Corbally Church stood at the north end of its graveyard until decay reduced it to a low overgrown mound. The 1842 Ordnance Survey map still labels the hollow as the site of that ancient parish church, preserving a boundary the stones forgot. People may have kept burying their dead there long after the building vanished, trusting the ground to remember what the eye could no longer see.
In graveyard (CO085-077001-). At N end a low overgrown mound marks site of ancient parish church of Corbally; marked 'site of' on 1842 OS 6-inch map.
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.
