What is recorded here

Grave Yard in County Cork, Ireland is a rectangular graveyard about 40m north-south and 50m east-west, overgrown and no longer used, with earliest headstones dating from the early 19th century. It lies beside a church recorded in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, suggesting it served a local parish before falling quiet. The grass may still hold the shape of old paths, and the stones may still carry names worn smooth by rain and time.
