What is recorded here

Grave Yard holds stones from 1638 beside St. Peter's Church, though Cork Corporation turned much of it into a recreation park in 1975 and lined the removed graves along the north wall. William Rogers' chest tomb from 1686 still lies where it was set, untouched while the others were shifted. The place has become a compact chamber of interrupted continuity: old deaths marked, rearranged, and half-hidden inside a park made for living people.

Rectangular graveyard (c. 50m E-W; c. 16m N-S), to W of St. Peter's Church (CO074-03405-) from which it is now separated by small industrial building. Gravestones removed from original position and placed in single line along N wall of graveyard when made into a recreation park by Cork Corporation in 1975; inscriptions date from 1638; Chest tomb of William Rogers (1686) remains in original position (Henchion 1988, 110-25). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
