What is recorded here

Grave Yard holds a ruined church and unnamed stones on a steep Cork slope, still receiving the occasional dead. The valley below has likely watched many funerals, though no name remains to mark them.

On break in steep ENE-facing slope, overlooking narrow valley. Small, subrectangular graveyard enclosed by stone wall. Ruined church (CO142-027002-) in centre; lines of low, uninscribed headstones to S and stone-built mausoleum and pyramidal gravemarker to N. Still in occasional use. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

A 19th-century Christian graveyard; significance lies in its association with a ruined church and as a local example of post-medieval funerary architecture.
