What is recorded here

Grave Yard holds the ruined parish church of Ballydeloughy inside a trapezoidal bank near County Cork, with headstones reaching back to 1767. Trees shadow the rising ground, and unmarked stones cluster east of the church like forgotten names. The dead have watched the pasture, road and seasons change for centuries.

In pasture, c. 60m from road to E. Trapezoidal graveyard (c. 42m WSW-ENE; c. 35m NNW-SSE) enclosed by earthen bank, stone-faced externally and planted with mature trees; entrance through stile at E end of S bank. Ground rises gently towards ruin of parish church of Ballydeloughy (14391) at centre. Most burials to SE or E of church; headstones date from 1767; low uninscribed gravemarkers concentrate to E of church with a few to S. Three 19th-20th-century headstones W of church. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
