What is recorded here

Grave Yard stands on the south side of a road overlooking the Womanagh river estuary in County Cork, Ireland. Headstones dating from the 1730s mark its edges while fragmentary ruins of Clonpriestparish church occupy its centre. The graveyard remains in occasional use and has recently extended northward. People still bring flowers and sit beside old stone, keeping the place alive long after most villages forgot it.
