Corke Abbey (on site of abbey) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Corke Abbey stood in a low coastal trap, built atop an older abbey, while a nearby burial ground surrendered headstones and bones to careless digging. The house has since vanished beneath a housing estate, erasing its walls but not the dead men sleeping underneath the new streets.

Formerly located in a low lying coastal situation. According to the OS Letters (1837) Cork Abbey was built on the site of an earlier abbey. The letters also record the presence of a burial ground a little to the S and W of the house where headstones and bones had been dug up (Herity 2001, 33). Corke Abbey House has since been knocked down and a housing estate built on the site (Healy 1975, 1-19). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 22 July 2018.
